Craig Small e36fe38835 watch: Add no linewrap option
For long lines from a process, watch would wrap them around to the
next. While this default option has it uses, sometimes you want to
just cut those long lines down.

watch has a -w flag which will truncate the lines to the number
of columns. A few simple lines to do this new trick.

I think I caught all the ANSI state correctly but there might be
a chance it bleeds to the next row.
