[PATCH v8 18/18] perf test: Truncate printed test descriptions dynamically to avoid terminal wrapping

[Ian Rogers]

When test descriptions are extremely long (e.g., the truncated perf.data
graceful handling test is 103 characters long), they wrap across terminal
boundaries.

Because the ANSI escape code to delete the line (PERF_COLOR_DELETE_LINE)
only clears a single terminal line, visual wrapping leaves orphan
wrapped lines on the screen, which results in the test description being
printed multiple times.

Resolve this by checking the terminal width (get_term_dimensions) and
dynamically truncating the printed test description to fit within the
available columns, leaving safety space for the prefix index and status
suffix.

JUnit XML output and the failure summary report still print the full,
untruncated test descriptions.
