repo-list: add hostname/username/comment to default format, reorder, …

borg 1.x encouraged users to put everything into the archive name:
- name of the dataset
- timestamp (usually used to make the archive name unique)
- maybe also hostname (when backing up to same repo from multiple hosts)
- maybe also username (when backing up to same repo from multiple users)

borg2 now discourages users from putting the timestamp into the name,
because we rather want same name within a series of archives - thus,
the field width for the name can be narrower.

the ID of the archive is now the only unique identifier, thus it is
moved to the leftmost place.
256bits (64 hex digits) was a bit much and as borg can also deal with
abbreviated IDs, we only show 32bits (8 hex digits) by default.

the ID is followed by the timestamp (also quite "interesting", because
it usually differs for different archives).

then following are: archive name, user name, host name - these might be
always the same if there is only one series of archives in a repo.

use 2 blanks separating the fields for better readability.
