Description of the new feature / enhancement

The current behavior of winget is that it looks at the first 50 output rows to determine the width of the output columns.

As a result, there are many cases where output information is truncated.

This is inconvenient, and break approaches to parse winget's output such as https://gist.github.com/sba923/7924b726fd44af91d18453ee595e6548

Adding an option to trigger a behavior similar to PowerShell's FormatTable -AutoSize would help.

Proposed technical implementation details
