branch: Fix bug #7182: LyX truncates file names in the ui.

Changes:
- let filenames to be longer in window title (see r36950);
- when hovering the lastfiles menu, the full file names are shown in the statusbar (see r37083);
- when hovering the tabs, the longer name is shown as a tooltip (see r37101).
