8c76cbdf5e Show as much of a month event title as fits (#164) (#183)
Month-view event titles no longer truncate with "…". `MonthBar` — the single
chip renderer for every month style and for the drag's floating copy — now uses
`TextOverflow.Clip` with `softWrap = false`, so a title runs to the chip's edge
and clips mid-glyph instead of spending two characters' width on an ellipsis.

`softWrap = false` is load-bearing: `Clip` on its own still breaks a `maxLines = 1`
line at the last whole word, so "Team standup meeting" would render as "Team" —
less title than the ellipsis showed, not more.

Deviation from the issue: right-to-left layouts keep the ellipsis. With
`softWrap` off Compose lays the line out at its full intrinsic width and clips to
the node's left edge, which in RTL is the *end* of the string — an Arabic title
would have lost its beginning. `Ellipsis` truncates at the logical end in both
directions, so RTL keeps it.

The Glance month widget needs nothing: its `Text` has no overflow parameter, and
a RemoteViews `TextView` with `maxLines = 1` and no ellipsize already clips.

Closes #164

### Changed
- Month-view event titles no longer end in an ellipsis. The "…" took the width
of a couple of characters and told you nothing you couldn't already see, so
the title now simply runs to the edge of its chip — a few more letters per
cell, which is often the difference between two events you can tell apart and
two you can't ([#164]).
