qa: fix tests using fmt for ubuntu2604

[kurik]

Ubuntu 26.04 ships uutils fmt, not GNU one. It breaks formating for qa/338 and qa/1473.
This fix restores back the fallback before ad0044a commit.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Two test filter scripts in qa/1473 and qa/338 update their _filter() function to probe fmt -w 64 capability instead of GNU-specific fmt -g 76 -w 76, streamlining the detection logic while maintaining fallback paths for alternative fmt variants.

Changes

fmt Capability Detection Modernization

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Update _filter() fmt probe from -g 76 -w 76 to -w 64 qa/1473, qa/338	Both test filter scripts replace GNU fmt -g 76 -w 76 detection with a simpler fmt -w 64 probe, updating the selected command invocation and comments while preserving the fallback behavior for other fmt variants.

🐰 Golden files now skip GNU's -g flag,
The probe grows lean with -w 64 tag,
Two filters harmonize their way,
Simplifying how they format the day,
Archive and test both skip and play!

@kmcdonell, could you please review this, as you are the author of commit ad0044a?

[kmcdonell]

@kurik I think it is simpler than this. My changes from the earlier commit are cut-n-paste-wrong. The qa tests were passing by accident.
The QA tests need a :g/ 76/s// 64/g in qa/338 and qa/1473.
This works for me on Ubuntu 24.04 and 26.04 ... if you gimme 24 hours I'll make sure it works on the *BSD and OpenIndiana platforms, then either you can rework this PR, or close it and leave it to me to clean up my mess with a new PR.
I'll wait for your response.

@kmcdonell OK, I am closing this PR and I leave it to you.
Thanks for looking at this.
