We could add a new defcustom process-window-width with a choice of
a numeric value to set COLUMNS env variable in the process, or
a symbol `window-width' to set COLUMNS to the width of the output
buffer's window.  Then it will handle both asynchronous processes
and synchronous remote shell commands as well.
