PluginList's interactive auto-shown filter fields should automatically layout in responsive columns on computer screens depending on available screen width

Description

If you take the All tasks page for example, you have a bunch of search filter fields shown an the top of that page and unless you're using a portrait-oriented monitor, you always have to scroll to see the initial results (or effects of your filter changes), all while it's wasting / making wildly inefficient use of your widescreen's available space. I typically don't need text fields and comboboxes/dropdowns to be wider than half or a third of my computer screen, it's just unelegantly wasted space, and I'm pretty sure that's a felony in Japan.

Please make it so that it defaults to automatically laying itself out into columns if there are more than 1 items and the screen resolution is bigger than a phone's formfactor. Here's a screenshot of what it looks like now, and what it could look like if it auto-split into 2 columns on a medium-resolution screen at 1600px wide (if it encounters a full HD or ultrawide screen, at 1920 and 2560px wide and above, then it should split into 3 or 4 columns and such). This would let me see the "top of the results" without needing to scroll.

Of course this could be made configurable in the plugin's settings if for some reason the admin wants to limit the number of autocolumns to 1 or 2, but I believe it should default to this behavior of smart unlimited autocolumns (whose amount varies depending on the available space), it would make a lot more sense to me.

Does this affect other components than Plugin List, could this be a general pattern? (I have no idea, but feel free to edit this task accordingly if so)
