Pt-config-diff --report-width variable names column

[brad svee]

using the pt-config-diff tool and increasing the --report-width option, it will not widen the variable name column, therefore long variable names are always truncated

pt-config-diff --report-width=400 ./m.cnf ./p.cnf
10 config differences

It is happening but I think, you have to give some big value.
