improve alignment of strings in library fields

[ronso0]

for example
Duration: omit leading zeros
BPM: align decimal points

This would ease finding long tracks and tracks with high/low BPM tracks in large track tables.
Also this could clean up the deck view.

This does not only affect the track duration but also various other columns that might be aligned right within their column:
- Date Added
- Year
- ReplayGain
- Key
- BPM
- Bitrate
- Track #

I'm still unsure though, because for the BPM column I prefer to cut off the less significant fractional digits to the right.

I do this, too. So you're saying the columns can't have individual alignments?

I just tried to expand the scope of your valid request and didn't metion any technical preconditions or requirements ;) Generalizing also helps to think about the consequences and implications.

okay, so let's push this a bit further:
BPM: align left, but reserve space for 3 digits before the decimal point
> this allows to align the decimal points and resize the column to hide the decimal places

There has been some progress on this, eg
https://github.com/mixxxdj/mixxx/pull/2001
https://github.com/mixxxdj/mixxx/pull/2002

I'm working on some further tweaks for the bpm column also.

Any other particular fields to nominate for alignment changes etc?
