print: Align amounts even when account names are long
When the account name is longer than the --account-width (default 36),
the amounts stop aligning:
2023/01/01 Transaction with long account names
Assets:Very:Long:Account:Name:That:Will:Push:The:Amount -10 ABC
Assets:Another:Long:Account:Name:That:Will:Push:The:Amount -10 ABC
Expenses:Short 20 ABC
One can set a larger --account-width, but that is not a great solution
for cases where you have only a few accounts with problematically long
names. Instead, keep the current account width wherever possible, but
when an account name is longer than the account width, account for that
and still align the values:
2023/01/01 Transaction with short account names
Assets:Short -10 ABC
Assets:Short -10 ABC
Expenses:Short 20 ABC
2023/01/01 Transaction with long account names
Assets:Very:Long:Account:Name:That:Will:Push:The:Amount -10 ABC
Assets:Another:Long:Account:Name:That:Will:Push:The:Amount -10 ABC
Expenses:Short 20 ABC
This is similar to hledger's behavior.
