The width of downloadDetails.width in the L10N file (downloads.dtd) should be refined to be fulfill the latest design of Downloads Panel including:
1. The original downloadDetails string.
2. The string when hover on an item.
3. The string when hover on an action button.

When doing this, we can simplify how this width is defined. Instead of changing the font size on the entire item and reverting it for the file name, we can just make the font size smaller for the details label. In fact, if I understand correctly, the current solution was implemented to keep this width unchanged and keep the result slightly different on various platforms, which is probably unnecessary.

The width is now defined on the entire list instead of the inner elements, similarly to other Photon panels like the main menu. This is a prerequisite for preventing layout issues while removing the "download" binding.
