Craig Small e5542f1fc3 free: Use wstr width and not length
The previous commit used the value from mbstowcs() to work out
the spacing required, as printf() got it completely wrong.

However, for alignment of text you don't use the string length
but the string width.

As the referenced website says:
 Use wcslen when allocating memory for wide characters, and use wcswidth to
 align text.

Which is what free does now. Chinese is still off by one but I cannot
see why this is so. It's close enough for now. If someone can work
it out, I'd love to know what the fix is.

As a side effect, #213 is fixed because we are putting the correct
number of spaces in.

French is still an issue (see #24 ) but this is because the string is
too long!
