Issue:
Modify the table_display.py example to use new tableformatter module
The new [tableformatter](https://github.com/python-tableformatter/tableformatter) module has excellent synergy with ``cmd2`` in terms of displaying tabular data in an aesthetically pleasing fashion.

We should update the existing [table_display.py](https://github.com/python-cmd2/cmd2/blob/master/examples/table_display.py) example to use ``tableformatter`` instead of ``tabulate`` and make sure we really display the power of this combination.

     * Added ``chop`` argument to ``cmd2.Cmd.ppaged()`` method for displaying output using a pager

+    1) How to display tabular data
     2) How to display output using a pager
 
 NOTE: IF the table does not entirely fit within the screen of your terminal, then it will be displayed using a pager.
 You can use the arrow keys (left, right, up, and down) to scroll around the table as well as the PageUp/PageDown keys.
 You can quit out of the pager by typing "q".  You can also search for text within the pager using "/".
