configure: print_in_columns: Replace pr with awk

Browse Source 
Get rid of pr dependency and write the columns strictly
alphabetical without page size considerations (POSIX
specifies 66 lines as default).

Setting the page size via pr's -l option was considered,
but as there is issue #5680 which wants to avoid pr
mainly because it's not in busybox, we chose to replace
pr instead.

Before pr would attempt to write pages, thus if a page
boundary was reached, the output looked confusing as one
couldn't see there was a new page and the alphabetical
order was disrupted when scanning down one of the columns.

This change is based on a shell implementation submitted
before by Yejun.

Possible differences to the current version using pr:
1. pr implementations should truncate items to not overflow columns;
   depending on how it's done not truncating shall be better IMHO.
2. pr implementations might balance columns differently;
   we use minimum number of lines and might end up not
   using all columns or might have lesser entries in the
   last column(s)
3. we use spaces only for padding the columns; at least the GNU pr
   version on my system also by default stuffs in tabs in addition
   to a single space in between columns. I don't see that this
   behaviour is demanded by POSIX, though I might be very well
   overlooking things. Anyway for our use case I can't see a need
   for having the additional tabs, or why it would be better compared
   to padding with spaces only.

Fixes output for sizes with width < column width, too.

Fixes remaining part of ticket #5680
