Roman Mashak reported that ss currently shows no output when it
should continuously report information about terminated sockets
(-E, --events switch).
This happens because I missed this case in 691bd854bf ("ss:
Buffer raw fields first, then render them as a table") and the
rendering function is simply not called.
To fix this, we need to:
- call render() every time we need to display new socket events
from generic_show_sock(), which is only used to follow events.
Always call it even if specific socket display functions
return errors to ensure we clean up buffers
- get the screen width every time we have new events to display,
thus factor out getting the screen width from main() into a
function we'll call whenever we calculate columns width
- reset the current field pointer after rendering, more output
might come after render() is called
