Add an option to autosize all columns by default when opening an attribute table

PR Description:

Description

This is a re-submission of this closed PR: #57643 with the branch re-based onto a recent master branch.

This PR adds an option via a checkbox in the Data Sources tab of the Options Dialog (opened via the Settings menu) to always resize columns to contents when opening an attribute table.

This extends qgis/QGIS#41276 and addresses a more recent request posted as a comment to the original feature request.

This was also discussed in this question on GIS Stack Exchange.
