make default table output a bit more compact

[shua]

I found the default formatting for summarize summarize <file> to be visually noisy and difficult to read because of the separators between each line:

$ summarize summarize my-data.mm_profdata
+-----------------------------------------------------------------+-----------+-----------------+----------+------------+---------------------------------+
| Item                                                            | Self time | % of total time | Time     | Item count | Incremental result hashing time |

... and so on for like 2 pages of scrolling

This change removes the separating lines +-----+---+ between rows. This introduces a new problem where it is hard to read a line as there's often a lot of whitespace between the end of the item label and the beginning of the next column. I added some ... to pad out the line to make it easier to scan.

A similar change has been made for the table output of the summarize diff ... command.

I think the final result is able to present more data in a single screen, while also not sacrificing ease of scanning horizontally.

This doesn't seem to have any effect for me locally.
Edit: Seems like you only changed the summarize subcommand, not the diff subcommand. Please also make this change to the diff subcommand.

A quick heads up that this is getting very close to the format of tables in Markdown, where it would look like this (replace + with | and remove ... for padding):

| Item                          | Self time | % of total time | Time     | Item count | Incremental result hashing time |
