commands: better install status help formatting (#41527)
Before (hard to read, doesn't fit on small terminals): : ```console -I, --install-status show install status of packages packages can be: installed [+], missing and needed by an installed package [-], installed in an upstream instance [^], or not installed (no annotation) ``` After (fits in 80 columns): ```console -I, --install-status show install status of packages [+] installed [^] installed in an upstream - not installed [-] missing dep of installed package ```
