Better default for COLUMNS format in agenda.

The default is now taken from the entry at point or the first
entry in the agenda, an can originate from a property, from
a #+COLUMNS line, or from the variable `org-columns-default-format'.

+Invoke column view (@pxref{Column view}) in the agenda buffer.  The column
+view format is taken from the entry at point, or (if there is no entry at
+point), from the first entry in the agenda view.  So whatever the format for
+that entry would be in the original buffer (taken from a property, from a
+@code{#+COLUMNS} line, or from the default variable
+@code{org-columns-default-format}), will be used in the agenda.
