Add xheader_width pset option to psql

The setting controls tha maximum length of the header line in expanded
format output. Possible settings are full, column, page, or an integer.
the default is full, the current behaviour, and in this case the header
line is the length of the widest line of output. column causes the
header to be truncated to the width of the first column, page causes it
to be truncated to the width of the terminal page, and an integer causes
it to be truncated to that value. If the full value is less than the
page or integer value no truncation occurs. If given without an argument
this option prints its current setting.
