Subject: get_help(): Ignore width of invisible options

When get_help() gets ready to lay out the help text into columns,
it first goes through and computes the max_width of the strings in
the left column. Problem is, it measures the width of every
available option, whether or not they'll actually be displayed.

Instead, let's use the same criteria used when deciding whether
to display an option, to decide whether or not to account for it
when computing max_width. This way, the layout is sized for the
help that's actually being produced.

Bug: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/issues/3781
Origin: upstream, 2.86.1, commit:bff4dcb3d803c73c6601d75fe2d700ee7016af03
