Truncate wide columns when terminal is too narrow #92

Truncates first the duration, then publish_date, then playlists, then title depending on the "pressure" of the terminal size. With that approach the title will always stay as long as possible.

TODO:

[x] Add commandline option to disable truncating
[x] Truncating in ytccf.sh script

With the command line option, you could add an option to manually set the width, and using some kind of sentinel value (e.g. 0) to disable truncation.

Just tried this and it looks much better!
