[PATCH] blame: add correct paddings in time_buf for align

When show blame information with relative time, the UTF-8 characters in `time_str` will break the alignment of columns after the date field. This is because the `time_buf` padding with spaces should have a constant display width, not a fixed strlen size. So we should call utf8_strwidth() instead of strlen() for calibration.
