column doc: rewrite documentation for column.ui

Browse Source 
The configuration option column.ui is very poorly documented, and it is
unclear what the defaults are, and what option can be combined with
what.  Rewrite it by splitting up the options into three sections
clearly showing how COL_ENABLED, COL_LAYOUT_MASK, and COL_DENSE work.
