Description Stephen Tweedie 2017-09-26 08:51:57 UTC 
Description of problem:
"dnf module info" line-wraps without folding at whitespace, so line-breaks occur randomly in the middle of words.

This makes it very hard to read the output.  In particular the Artifacts: list is a long wall of characters if the module is large.

It would be much better to fold lines at whitespace when a line overflows.

See "dnf module info perl" (in eg. a current jamesantill/boltron-27 docker image) as an example.

@Martin, can we fix it asap please? a lot of my tests depend on parsing `dnf module list`
