[REQUEST] view truncated text by permanently changing the ellipses

[Konfekt]

As a follow up to #917 that makes it possible to dynamically change the ellipses, this issue requests the feature to permanently change the ellipses by an option in the configuration file.

This is useful, for example, when piping long file paths to rofi, to see the file name instead of the preceding directories. See also the discussion at #399.

Describe the feature

• A clear description of the feature you want added: Currently every string listed in the rofi window is truncated to the right. This issue requests the feature to optionally truncate it instead to the left by an option in the configuration file.
• If the feature involves replacement of current functionality, how the new
  functionality is better? It is an addition, not a replacement.
• If the feature is implemented in another application, include:
  • Screenshots or screencasts of it
  • Links to its implementation

For example, fzf has the --keep-right option that keeps the right end of the line visible when it's too long, implemented here.

• If possible try to explain how you would expect to use feature:
  For example, should it be a configuration option or a hot-key.

It should be a configuration option. A hot-key was already implemented in 52c5592

When reporting a feature request include the following information:

• Rofi version: 5.3
