ip help text should fit on 80 columns

From: Vincent Lefevre <hidden>

Help text such as output by "ip help" or "ip link help" should fit
on 80 columns. It currently seems to take up to 86 columns.

Tested version:

zira:~> ip -V
ip utility, iproute2-5.9.0, libbpf 0.3.0

but that's the iproute2 5.10.0-4 Debian package.

Have you looked at latest iproute2 in git?

OK, I see that there have been changes in the one from git.kernel.org,
but not in the one from github (which I was looking at until now).

I'm not sure whether the difference between these repositories is
expected, but https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/networking/iproute2
suggests either, without saying anything else.
