Add configurable wrapping modes for table columns

[Copilot]

Table cells currently wrap at character boundaries, splitting words mid-stream (e.g., "all-in-one-wp-migration-multisite-extension" becomes "mult" / "isite-extension"), making long values difficult to copy/paste.

Changes

Added three wrapping modes:

• wrap - Character-boundary wrapping (default, preserves existing behavior)
• word-wrap - Wraps at spaces and hyphens, keeping words intact
• truncate - Single-line display with ellipsis

Implementation:

• Added setWrappingMode() to Table and Ascii classes
• Refactored wrapping logic into wrapText() and wordWrap() helpers
• Added validation for mode values

Usage

$table = new \cli\Table();
$table->setHeaders(['name', 'version', 'status']);
$table->setRows($data);
$table->setWrappingMode('word-wrap');  // or 'truncate'
$table->display();

Comparison

Before (character-boundary):

| all-in-one-wp-migration-mult | 4.34 | inactive |
| isite-extension              |      |          |

With word-wrap:

| all-in-one-wp-migration-     | 4.34 | inactive |
| multisite-extension          |      |          |

With truncate:

| all-in-one-wp-migration-m... | 4.34 | inactive |

<issue_description>Hi there,

This is either a feature request or a support request, depending on whether the functionality I'm seeking exists.

In my terminal, whose usual dimensions are the standard 80x24, when I list things like plugins, I get output like that below:

$ wp plugin list --fields=name,version,update_version,status

+-----------------------+--------------------------+----------------+----------+
| name                  | version                  | update_version | status   |
+-----------------------+--------------------------+----------------+----------+
| advanced-custom-field | 6.2.7                    |                | active   |
| s                     |                          |                |          |
| advanced-query-loop   | 2.1.1                    |                | active   |
| all-in-one-wp-migrati | 7.81                     |                | inactive |
| on                    |                          |                |          |
| all-in-one-wp-migrati | 4.34                     |                | inactive |
| on-multisite-extensio |                          |                |          |
| n                     |                          |                |          |
+-----------------------+--------------------------+----------------+----------+

As you can see, the plugin names wrap onto multiple lines. I sometimes wish to copy and paste the names, but the line wrapping interferes with this. I know I can 1) widen my terminal and re-run the command or 2) pipe the output to a file (which strips the columnar formatting), but I'm wondering if there is a way to either...

• display the content like the mysql client does, wrapping over lines but never in columns when the width of the content exceeds the terminal width.
• or explicitly set the width of a given column or columns (even if that truncates some content).

I think "mysql client behavior" might be useful for more than just me.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
