This header printf really doesn't add much with the formatting sizes.
It's pretty obscure why some of these are sized and others not sized.
For instance: %-15s doesn't refer to a mac address size.
Perhaps it'd be better to just emit the fixed string just using
BATADV_TO_MAX_VALUE.  It'd also be easier to find via grep.
