Legacy -c option support

[Sargates]

The -c option in the linux-utils version of column lets you control the output width of the table -- good for clipping at a certain length or dynamically using tput cols.

From column --help:
-c, --output-width <width> width of output in number of characters

However piping the table to something like cut -c 1-$(tput cols) causes overtrim because the control characters aren't interpreted as 0 width characters (I think), i.e. \e[41m is counted as 6 characters instead of 0 and your line ends up 6 characters short of what it's supposed to be.

I can't really find a good alternative for this clipping behavior with colors and I figure since it existed in the original someone might be willing to implement it here. I would submit a pull request myself but I've never used pearl.
