The patch enhances the readability of the "column.format:" preference value so
that each column "title", "format" string pair is written to a separate line.   

Here is an example of how the column.format value is currently formatted... 

<snip>
> ######## User Interface: Columns ########
> 
> # Packet list column format.
> # Each pair of strings consists of a column title and its format.
> column.format: "No.", "%m", "Time", "%t", "Source", "%s", "Destination",
> 	"%d", "vlan.id", "%Cus:vlan.id", "Protocol", "%p",
> 	"Length", "%L", "ip.id", "%Cus:ip.id", "Info", "%i"
<snip>

And here is an example of how the same column.format value would be formatted
after this patch is applied... 

<snip>
> ######## User Interface: Columns ########
> 
> # Packet list column format.
> # Each pair of strings consists of a column title and its format.
> column.format: 	"No.", "%m",
> 	"Time", "%t",
> 	"Source", "%s",
> 	"Destination", "%d",
> 	"vlan.id", "%Cus:vlan.id",
> 	"Protocol", "%p",
> 	"Length", "%L",
> 	"ip.id", "%Cus:ip.id",
> 	"Info", "%i"
