1445252 - Add test data dialog should allow resizing

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1517512

Some of our test names are ridiculously long nowadays, partially because the perfherder extra bits are long (because we have lots of build types and we stick the EC2 instance type in there for build times data) and partially because some of the names are just long. Because of this I frequently find that I can't see the entire test names in the "Add test data" dialog. It would be nice if I could resize the dialog somehow--either resizing the entire dialog or just resizing the portion containing the test names would be useful. I usually have plenty of horizontal space in the browser tab, so even making the dialog use up more of the available space by default would probably be fine.

We use the bootstrap modal large component for the test chooser, which has no built-in functionality to make it resizable:

Other options here:

1. Shortening the display names inside perfherder (e.g. is `taskcluster` really necessary inside `taskcluster-c4.xlarge`, do we need to say both `asan asan-fuzzing` or could we get away with only showing only `asan-fuzzing`?)
2. Redesigning the dialog to be less horizontally constrained and allow huge test names (not sure what this would be offhand)

Some of the work that I did in bug 1416870 may be relevant as inspiration to the above, in particular for (1).
