Rollup merge of #73719 - davidtwco:issue-72509-emitter-column-width, r=estebank

emitter: column width defaults to 140

Fixes #72509.

This PR modifies the column width computation in the emitter when `termize::dimensions` returns `None` so that it uses the default value of 140 (which is used in UI testing currently) instead of `usize::MAX` which just ends up causing overflows in later computations.

I also tried changing the computations which used `column_width` with their saturating equivalent, but the output appeared the same - so I decided to go with this approach because I feel like it's less likely to accidentally re-introduce an ICE like this in future (e.g. adding a non-saturating operation on `column_width` in future).

I haven't added a test because I couldn't come up with a MCVE. I stumbled upon this running rustc-perf with the `piston-image` benchmark (running in tmux; it only happened with stage two builds only; and only when running through Cargo, not rustc directly with the same flags). In addition, given the nature of the issue, I don't know that we *could* write a UI test for this. Open to suggestions here though.
