Bug Description

The terminal width change in https://review.openstack.org/#/c/244368/ broke copy/paste in clients (like neutronclient) because it wraps output now by default.

While I'm fine with an option to get this behavior, the default should be the previous output - wrapped. This is a user-facing API impact that needs to be reverted.

This bug is one of the big things blocking me from moving to openstackclient by default. It's incredibly annoying to not be able to copy-paste UUIDs from client output anymore. If we don't want to revert the change (which seems likely this long after it merged), we need to at least add some way to mark ID columns as unsplittable. Or a way turn this behavior off globally, since in general I was fine with the previous unwrapped behavior.
