Clipping overflowing text from the left.

[Nibba2018]

The current implementation of clip_overflow in fury.ui allows us to clip overflowing text from the right end for a given width. It will be helpful to have a feature that can clip overflowing text from the left end as well. The overflowing text must be replaced by .... This feature will be helpful while developing FileDialog2D.

For e.g
if extraordinary overflows for a given width then it must be replaced by ...ordinary where ...ordinary is the perfect fit for that width.
