With axiom_sql, a result table wider than the terminal wrapped each row across several lines, which made a wide SELECT unreadable.
With this patch, the result tables written to a terminal now go through
--pager,less -SFXby default, so a long row stays on one logical line and scrolls sideways. Redirected output is untouched: a pipe or a file still gets plain text, and--pager=turns the pager off.printResultswrites to a stream the caller supplies rather than tostd::cout. The console formats into a buffer and hands it to the pager, then prints that same buffer to stdout when the pager will not start or exits with a failure.
