[PATCH v2] fetch: align new ref summary printout in UTF-8 locales

fetch does printf("%-*s", width, "foo") where "foo" can be a utf-8 string, but width is in bytes, not columns. For ASCII it's fine as one byte takes one column. For utf-8, this may result in misaligned ref summary table.

Introduce gettext_width() function that returns the string length in columns (currently only supports utf-8 locales). Make the code use TRANSPORT_SUMMARY(x) where the length is compensated properly in non-English locales.

  - rename gettext_length() to gettext_width()
  - use "width" instead of letters
  - leave other "%-*s" places unchanged if they always take ascii
    strings (i.e. no _() calls)
  - note to self, may need to i18n-ize print_ref_status() in
    transport.c, looks like it's used by git-push only
