Truncate work item description with option to show all

Current status: Available behind :work_items_beta (default OFF)

Summary

In order to preserve utility of elements lower on the page when the description is very long, truncate the visible description and use a "read more" action to expose the rest on demand. This can be beneficial in many scenarios but will be especially beneficial in smaller views and when the sidebar is reflowed below the description.
