Description
Maybe we should add an option to force a grid mode. This combined with `--blocks` might end up being really powerful.
One example would be
```
$ lsd --grid --blocks name,size
appveyor.yml 3 KB build.rs 1.3 KB Cargo.lock 33 KB Cargo.toml 1.1 KB
CHANGELOG.md 8.2 KB ci 160 B CODEOWNERS 25 B LICENSE 11.1 KB
README.md 5.4 KB src 384 B target 192 B tests 96 B
```

Research direction
Start by tracing the existing `--grid` and `--blocks` command-line entry points in lsd and compare their current output behavior. Define the forced grid layout using the two examples in the issue, then verify that combining both options produces aligned rows with the requested fields.
