[AstroPy] Table.pprint

[Aldcroft, Thomas]

Indeed `tabl['col1', 'col99'].pprint()` is the right idiom for printing a
subset of columns. I see the docs didn't include anything quite like that,
so I added an example. See:
  https://github.com/astropy/astropy/pull/11354.

BTW, starting with the next release of astropy (4.3) you can persistently
include or exclude selected column names from being printed. This can be
helpful if you have a table that has some uninteresting columns, or perhaps
a very wide column that dominates printing. See:
  https://docs.astropy.org/en/latest/table/access_table.html#hiding-columns
