[PATCH v2] wt-status: take the alignment burden off translators

It's not easy for translators to see spaces in these strings have to align, especially when there are no guarantees that these strings are grouped together in .po files. Refactor the code and do the alignment automatically.

 v2 calculates maximum length automatically too so the translator does
 not have to test and specify that manually.
