Currently, the browse dialog presents all information in a very wide table. This makes it hard to grasp and even entirely unreadable on mobile devices.

The dialog should instead be split into a table and a detail view. When you select a session, this should open up, maybe covering half of the view or so from the bottom. This way, the table can only show the most relevant bits, like session title, user count and NSFMness, whereas the detail view can then show you who created it, what server it's on etc. This would also give some space for session tags or descriptions from #1125.

Needs some fleshing out and a UI designed for it, ideally by someone that uses this dialog frequently (i.e. not me.)

Scribble of how this could look: removing most of the columns from the main table, adding a vertical splitter and putting the detail into the bottom part.

The detail view at the bottom would show you information about whatever session you selected and it would be scrollable.

The table should maybe get another icon column to distinguish between local and external sessions? I dunno if that's relevant to see at a glance, since I don't use the session browser.
