Render command help text in book to avoid wrapping

The command `--help` text output in the book was very wide, which caused
it to be clipped and require scrolling horizontally to see it all.

This diff renders the text at 80 columns, which makes it visible without
scrolling at reasonable screen sizes.

To do this, `env::run` now checks for the presence of the environment
variable `IMDL_TERM_WIDTH`, which, if set to a positive integer, will be
passed to `Clap::set_term_width`.

`bin/man` now uses this to render the help text at 80 characters.

`KEY:ORDER`, with `KEY` being one of `path` or `size`, and `ORDER` being
`ascending` or `descending`. `:ORDER` defaults to `ascending` if omitted. The

-s, --source <TEXT> Set torrent source to `TEXT`. Stored under `source` key of info dictionary.
This is useful for keeping statistics from being mis-reported when
participating in swarms with the same contents, but with different trackers.
When source is set to a unique value for torrents with the same contents,
torrent clients will treat them as distinct torrents, and not share peers
between them, and will correctly report download and upload statistics to
multiple trackers.
