Adjust hardcoded widths in dialog modals

Problem/Motivation

For example, there are several instances in core where 700px is hard coded for the width of dialogs.

'data-dialog-options' => Json::encode([
                  'width' => 700,
                ]),

"Setting a fixed 700 pixel width means this could appear unnecessarily narrow on larger screens. Although many of the form elements seem to look just the same, it scrunches up textareas and WYSIWYG fields a little awkwardly. A percentage would be better but it doesn't look like we could pass a non-px value to the jQuery settings: https://api.jqueryui.com/dialog/#option-width"

These may have been sufficient for smaller displays and the now-removed Seven theme which had smaller form elements. Uses should be evaluated with the awareness wider displays are more commonly used, and that Claro is chunkier.
