Notifications are pointlessly truncated even on ultrawide monitors

[Dan Dascalescu]

I tried to use ubuntu-bug -w to identify the component for this bug by clicking on a notification, but it failed with "xprop failed to determine process ID of the window". Sorry.

The bug is that notifications of adding/removing icons to Favorites in the taskbar, are truncated for no good reason. I have a dual monitor setup ridiculous amounts of horizontal space, yet the notification is fixed size - which is fine, if it wrapped the text inside it. But it doesn't.

Bug 1871868 is tracking the same kind of issue in the same code already. So let's use that for now.
