Subject: [PATCH] Add user-defined column widths to package-list (package.el)

When executing the function `package-list-packages', the column widths are
too narrow, cutting off a significant
portion of the package names.

This minor patch adds four variables that can be set by the user to adjust
the width of each column within the package list.

Changelog entry
--------------------------------
2020-05-04  Chris McMahan  <[email-masked]>

* package.el ((define-derived-mode package-menu-mode tabulated-list-mode
"Package Menu"):
User can now adjust column widths of the package list by setting the values
of the following:
package-name-column-width (defaults to 30 columns)
package-version-column-width (14 column)
package-status-column-width (12 columns)
package-archive-column-width (14 columns)
--------------------------------

Patch is attached:
