Not "any" column - just those that are generated form the client-side
tests. I.e. cpu, disk, memory, msgs, procs, files, ports.

It simply keeps those status-messages from being generated, so if you
remove e.g. the "files" column for all hosts, then there will not be a
"files" column on the display at all.

(I do plan to extend this so you can remove any column, and not just
those that stem from the client-side tests. But it required more changes
to the core utilities than I'm willing to do right now).
