bug#62606: [PATCH] function to align mode-line elements to right

[hugo]

I wanted to be able to right-align some elements of the mode-line. I
used `tab-bar-format-align-right' as a base and modified it to work with
the mode-line.

The functin aligns to the right /fringe/ rather than the margin because
some modes (e.g. [visual-fill-column-mode]) mess around the margin size,
but the right-align should be unaffected by this.

Patch attached. I want to know that the code is good before I do NEWS
and docs etc. Obviously it would be useful to document this in info
(elisp) Mode Line Variables and maybe in the `mode-line-format'
docstring.

Blue skies,

Hugo
