[Feature] Make `cli-table` formatting optional #3

Use Case

I have this connected to both IRC and Slack adapters. When I run it in an IRC client with a non-fixed-width font, I get some rather janky output

Solution

So, I would propose either:

Ditching this format entirely (not really feeling that option)
Making it an environment variable configuration option, e.g. HUBOT_UBER_FORMAT_TABLES=0

I'm assuming Zach was using Campfire here since I thought that's what GitHub was using for a long time. I'm not sure cli-table is pretty in HipChat, IRC, or Slack. A better formatting solution that's decent across providers would be ideal. I'm open to other ideas and PRs :rocket:
