Widen MOVECOPY dialog; fix truncation on ja-JP and tr-TR #400

Closed malxau closed 10 months ago

This is a continuation of the theme in #398 .

In preparation to localize Other:, this change makes the dialog a little wider. As part of that, I found that tr-TR and ja-JP are currently truncating their labels. In ja-JP, this is because we have much larger strings for hardlinks and symlinks that aren't part of the dialog resource that don't fit. In tr-TR, the labels didn't use all of the space that they could have, which truncated strings.

For all languages, the bulk of the additional widened space goes to the input fields, but on those two locales, some goes to the text labels.

The underlying reasoning here is that file paths and monitors are much larger than 1993, so there's no good reason to keep this dialog so small. In this change it still fits in 640x480, but the real goal is to fit comfortably on anything in use today (1024x768 or larger.)
