Added an autowidest key
This adds the feature request by #3 . I based my code of the answer here https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/547398.
Bassically the idea is that you use a new autowidest key instead of widest=<string>, and it works out the <string> for you by using two LaTeX runs. Unfortunately this adds the eqparbox package as a dependency.
Here's a stupid example showing that unlike the stackexchange code above, my code will handle user suplied align and format keys, it also works with the usual =* option, instead of neading you change it to =! option.
\newcommand{\myformat}[1]{(#1)} % Put the label in parantheses
\SetLabelAlign{testy}{\hfil#1:} % A right aligned label with a : after it
\setlist[description]{labelsep = 0.5em, labelindent = 1em, leftmargin = *, align=testy, format=\myformat, autowidest}
\begin{description}
\item[a label] some text\\
more text
\item[realy long label] some test\\
more text
\item[another label] some test\\
more text
\end{description}
The above will roughly come out as:
(a label): some text
more text
(realy long label): some test
more text
(another label): some test
more text
Note: I delete an example use case in the manual for \EnumitemId since it is now redundant (autowidest is much better as it doesn't assume the last label is the widest).
