[Feature Request]: DataGrid needs an accessible solution to overflowing values

[davidmenendez]

The problem

this issue is a follow up to #5351

currently when using columns with resize it's possible to end up with a value that gets hidden with ellipses. that solution is not accessible and as a result to recent accessibility fixes to datagrid where unnecessary title attributes were being used as tooltips for overflowing values there's currently no way to view those values without resizing the column.

i haven't been able to find anything specifically regarding this accessibility issue when it comes to resizable tables, but according to this article it's bad practice from an accessibility standpoint to hide values. so i think we have two options here

The solution

1. set a minimum width to cells and add a horizontal scroll for values that extend beyond the cell
2. using word-wrap: break-word to truncate the value and adjust the row height to accommodate the value

the screenshot above shows an example of how a table width responsive row height would react to the cell truncation
