[PATCH 1/5] python/utils: add add_visual_margin() text decoration utility

[John Snow <jsnow@redhat.com>]

>>> print(add_visual_margin(msg, width=72, name="Commit Message"))
┏━ Commit Message ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
┃ add_visual_margin() takes a chunk of text and wraps it in a visual
┃ container that force-wraps to a specified width. An optional title
┃ label may be given, and any of the individual glyphs used to draw the
┃ box may be replaced or specified as well.
┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

+    Decorate and wrap some text with a visual decoration around it.

+    This function assumes that the text decoration characters are single

+    ┃ This is what this function looks like with text content that's
+    ┃ wrapped to 72 characters. The right-hand margin is left open to
+    ┃ acommodate the occasional unicode character that might make
+    ┃ predicting the total "visual" width of a line difficult. This
+    ┃ provides a visual distinction that's good-enough, though.

+
+    :param content: The text to wrap and decorate.
+    :param width:
+        The number of columns to use, including for the decoration
+        itself. The default (None) uses the the available width of the
+        current terminal, or a fallback of 72 lines. A negative number
+        subtracts a fixed-width from the default size. The default obeys
+        the COLUMNS environment variable, if set.
+    :param name: A label to apply to the upper-left of the box.
+    :param padding: How many columns of padding to apply inside.
+    :param upper_left: Upper-left single-width text decoration character.
