set the COLUMNS environment variable #1608

We know which font 1D maths is typeset in and therefore could set the COLUMNS environment variable for maxima so that 1D equations might fit into the window once maxima honors that variable.

(Note: This refers (most likely) to my suggestion for the following Maxima ticket: https://sourceforge.net/p/maxima/feature-requests/153/). It won't work in wxMaxima, since there is no guarantee, that a monospace font is used (and the default is NO monospace font).

(We could also set linel to the desired value in wxMathML.lisp, but that would also only work for monospaced fonts).

linel should affect maxima only with display2d:false - and wxMaxima should (but only since the last release) default to a monospace font in this case.
