Remove truncation of path alias

Problem/Motivation

The URL alias page (/admin/config/search/path) truncates the alias to 47 characters and three elipsis. This number is far too small and makes even a small site difficult to manage because all aliases in the row results look the same. When trying to manage long aliases and trying to resolve the dreaded '-0' pattern, no amount of truncation is helpful

Steps to reproduce

  1. Go to /admin/config/search/path
  2. filter for any subsection of your site that has decent length of aliases
  3. Notice that you can tell one page from the other because the truncation makes them look the same
  4. Get sad because this interface is not helpful at all.

Proposed resolution

(patch #23) First suggestion is to remove truncation altogether. There is not really a problem that the truncation solves.

Other options are to:
- Still obscures data needed to fill purpose of the UI.
