Conrad Meyer 9c4241c3d7 ps(1): Only detect terminal width if stdout is a tty 
If stdout isn't a tty, use unlimited width output rather than truncating to
79 characters.  This is helpful for shell scripts or e.g., 'ps | grep foo'.

This hardcoded width has some history: In The Beginning of History[0], the
width of ps was hardcoded as 80 bytes.  In 1985, Bloom@ added detection
using TIOCGWINSZ on stdin.[1]  In 1986, Kirk merged a change to check
stdout's window size instead.  In 1990, the fallback checks to stderr and
stdin's TIOCGWINSZ were added by Marc@, with the commit message "new
version."[2]

OS X Darwin has a very similar modification to ps(1), which simply sets
UNLIMITED for all non-tty outputs.[3]  I've chosen to respect COLUMNS
instead of behaving identically to Darwin here, but I don't feel strongly
about that.  We could match OS X for parity if that is desired.
