More compact Get-ChildItem output #18347

Description

@theuserbl

Summary of the new feature / enhancement

The output of Get-ChildItem is VERY wide.
Especially on Unix.

pwsh

There are so much space between the username and the group name. Most times the standard width of a terminal window on Linux isn't width enough.

On Windows are only four rows (Mode, LastWriteTime, Length and Name) instead of the six on Unix (UnixMode, User, Group, LastWriteTime, Size and Name), so it haven't so much effect. But it is also more width then needed.

pwsh2

Btw: Why is the same column with the same thing on Unix called "Size" and on Windows called "Length" ?
