Aleksandr updated IGNITE-27515:
-------------------------------
Description:
Implement column truncation in SQL REPL to prevent tables from exceeding
terminal width.
_Problem:_
Wide tables with many columns or long cell values break terminal formatting.
Horizontal scrolling is not available, and tables become unreadable.
_Solution:_
Detect terminal width using JLine's terminal.getWidth() and truncate/distribute
column widths to fit.
_New config keys:_
* ignite.cli.output.truncate (boolean, default: true)
* ignite.cli.output.max-column-width (integer, default: 50)
_Command-line flags:_
* --max-col-width N - override default max column width
* --no-truncate - disable truncation (show full content)
_Considerations:_
* Priority columns (e.g., primary key, ID) may need more width
* Numeric columns should not be truncated mid-number
* Consider smart truncation for different data types

_Problem:_
Wide tables with many columns or long cell values break terminal formatting.
Horizontal scrolling is not available, and tables become unreadable.
_Solution:_
Detect terminal width using JLine's terminal.getWidth() and truncate/distribute
column widths to fit.
_Implementation approach:_
* Get terminal width from JLine terminal
* Calculate available width after borders/padding
* Distribute width across columns (proportional or equal)
* Truncate cells exceeding allocated width with "..." suffix
* Preserve column headers
_New config keys:_
* ignite.cli.output.truncate (boolean, default: true)
* ignite.cli.output.max-column-width (integer, default: 50)
_Command-line flags:_
* --max-col-width N - override default max column width
* --no-truncate - disable truncation (show full content)
_Key files to modify:_
* TableDecorator.java - table rendering logic
* PlainTableRenderer.java - plain text output
* CliConfigKeys.java - config keys
_Considerations:_
* Priority columns (e.g., primary key, ID) may need more width
* Numeric columns should not be truncated mid-number
* Consider smart truncation for different data types
