This is hopefully a simple change to about:debugging to show the path to the extension on the file system. Particularly useful for temporary extensions, but could apply to them all.

This only shows the install location for temporary add-ons. When an add-on is regularly installed from the filesystem the path is set to the original install location which doesn't seem very helpful.

We could use `_sourceBundle` to get the location for regular installs but this ends up being in Firefox's directory for system add-ons and likely also isn't very helpful (and looks kind of bad because those paths are really long and weird).

There's some RTL/LTR flipping for getting the ellipsis on the left-hand-side of the file path. I think this is fine because we always want the file path to be displayed LTR from what I can tell.
I wanted to add some more specific tests for this by rendering the AddonTarget component directly. This didn't seem to work in the browser tests since there's no global `document` and React depends on that.

I tried writing a mochitest that does this but I couldn't get it to load react. I think this might just need some config updates but I trial and error did not lead me to a solution.

Is there a good way to do this? I don't see any tests like this in aboutdebugging but I see that there are some other parts using enzyme.

Essentially I want this:

    ReactDOM.render(
      React.createElement(AddonTarget, { target: { url: "https://addons.mozilla.org/..." } }, null),
      testContainer);
    ok(!testContainer.textContent.includes("Location"), "remote location is hidden");

Looks good to me, thanks! 
Few nits, feel free to land with my comments addressed and a green try.

can you use classes instead of dt/dd ?

nit: move before [browser_addons_debug_webextension.js]

The description seems wrong here?
