Help text wrapping set to 80 irrespective of the terminal width

[couling]

According to the documentation click should:

The default behavior of Click is to rewrap text based on the width of the terminal

At least on a mac terminal, that's not the case. For me, the output of shutil.get_terminal_size() is os.terminal_size(columns=210, lines=44). But click is wrapping all text to 80 characters and does not respond to resizes of the terminal before or during the program's execution.

This is a little jarring and it would be nice if this could either dynamically resize or offer a way to manually set it.

Environment:

• Python version: 3.9
• Click version: 8.1.2

The default max width is 80 characters, which is pretty standard for help output and ensures a readable flow of text even at large widths. It can be changed by setting Context.max_content_width. For example:

@click.command
def cli():
    ...

cli(max_content_width=120)

@davidism just to clarify, do you intend to correct the documentation on this?
