Make long names of chat groups readable

Anton Ballmaier requested to merge 1039-chat-name-visibility into master

Closes #1039 (closed)

What does this MR do?

It allows chat names to take up up to two lines. Also the way the sending time of a message is displayed is shortened to hh:mm if the message was sent the same day or "yesterday" (or "gestern", ...) if that is the case. This shortens the time stamp a lot and leaves more room for the chat name. Finally I dropped the constraint, that all elements in the chat dropdown must have same height, since that is neither visually pleasing (imo) nor practial with the new possible two-line headlines.

How confident are you it won't break things if deployed?

Quite confident.

How to test

Have a look at the chat dropdown. You might want to create a long chat name and have a look at messages with different time stamps (you can change your pc time for testing)
