Environments display improvements
Description
The current UX of list display of environments can be improved on some points.

The environments of one of our projects looks like this:
Proposal
Some points I think can improve on this page:
- Since environments are already grouped hierarchically (in this case the
production
ones), the group prefix does not need to be shown on each line. It's duplicate information on each line, and takes away of the useful space. => Remove group prefix from environment name in list - When hovering over the environment names, it does not show the full names. As a result, you can't differentiate between environments with the same prefix, as soon as it's name is longer than a few characters (example is the second and third item under production). This is worsened by the point above; there's barely any space in the column for the useful part of the environment name, and the full name cannot be seen. => show full name on hover over environment link.
- The count of environments is confusing. The
show more
button is not really visible at first sight (I actually only just found out about it as I started typing out a bug report for the wrong count of environments). Furthermore, in this case there are 4 sub-production ones, 3 are shown in the list, and then on clicking show more, we get to a separate page showing the full 4. The limit of 3 to show in the list display is rather low. I'd much rather have the full 4 of them shown on the single page. I'd also prefere to load the extra environments in-place in the list instead of a separate page.
