Provide sideModal prop to truncate differently in side modals

[charliepark]

This adds a sideModal prop to the DescriptionRow that drops the truncation limit from 48 characters to 20, so we better handle the narrower context of a sideModal pane.

A shorter cutoff for normal text isn't ideal, but I think it's better than losing cut-off content that overruns the boundary.

Though that does look pretty ugly.

Kind of a silly idea, not for this PR: instead of truncating by character, do a CSS truncate with ellipsis so it’s always truncating at the right length, and then use the length as a heuristic to decide whether to show the tooltip on hover. You get some false positives in that you get a tooltip on hover sometimes when you don’t need it, but you never truncate too early.

(All of this is moot if there’s a good way to measure the rendered length in JS.)

Surprised there aren't more side modals with one of these in them.

In other places we're using the form inputs. I want to refactor this anyway. To be honest I'd expect this to be updatable as a user alongside name.

It gets pretty janky, at least last time I checked. Since you need the font statistics to measure.
