Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Looking at the inventory of hosts is one of the most common operations for wash. However, when using file references or long generated component IDs, it becomes pretty unreadable.

Taking a look at other infrastructure tools, like kubectl and nomad, none of them quite overflow the terminal like wash. I think this is largely due to the fidelity of information, and with wash displaying the full image reference really just isn't quite necessary.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would love for the host inventory to display just the right amount of information for the human readable format. Just like kubernetes, we can hide all of the other information behind the json flag for when it's necessary.

I propose that the host inventory display the following information:

• Host ID
• Host friendly name
• Host Labels
• Components list
  • Component ID
  • Name
  • Max count
• providers list
  • Provider ID
  • Name

I could even be convinced to drop the friendly name / host labels for the inventory operation, but it can be useful at a glance to verify that, for example, your application is spread properly across availability zones.

Describe alternatives you've considered

• We could push host information into the wash get hosts command to keep the terminal more clean
• We could be smarter with our table library to fit to the width of the terminal and truncate the image reference. This could work, but a truncated image reference or ID is pretty unhelpful
