processes: Allow 'less' to properly estimate line length.
Until now, the first few lines in the output of 'guix processes' could disappear in 'less'. * guix/ui.scm (call-with-paginated-output-port): Add #:less-options parameter and honor it. (with-paginated-output-port): Allow callers to pass #:less-options. * guix/scripts/processes.scm (guix-processes): Pass #:less-options to 'with-paginated-output-port'.
