Same titles in tabs

[Adam Bieńkowski]

Opening two or more folders with same folder names will result in two tabs named the same, and there is no way to determine which one is which, it can be done only through actually clicking on the tab. There should be some kind of mechanism like ie.: sublime text does for same file names.

The same bug could be raised in Terminal.

This was discussed specific to Files, but might be helpful in other apps as well.

- If displayed text (i.e. folder name) is unique among items in the same tab bar, just show that
- If the folder name is not unique, show the path of the folder up to the point where it’s unique
  - If the folders are `~/Projects/artoo/images/oryp2` and `~/Projects/artoo/videos/oryp2`, show the tab names as `images/oryp2` and `videos/oryp2`.
  - If the folders are `~Projects/artoo/images/oryp2/optimized` and `~/Projects/artoo/videos/oryp2/optimized` , the tabs might show `images/oryp2/optimized` and `videos/oryp2/optimized` respectively.
  - The truncation/ellipsis rules of the HIG should apply; I believe the middle of the tab name should be truncated since the beginning and end of the string are most likely to be unique.
  - This convention puts the unique, distinguishing factors up front while also keeping the standard convention of `/` separation for directories.
- A tooltip should reveal the full path (relative to the home directory if relevant), i.e. `~/Projects/artoo/images/oryp2/optimized` in the previous example.
