editor: Fix soft-wrap in auto-height editors (#54051)

We had an internal report of soft wrap not working in git panel's commit
editor. Given the following settings:
```json
{
  "languages": {
    "Git Commit": {
      "preferred_line_length": 80,
      "soft_wrap": "preferred_line_length",
    },
  },
}
```
We would not soft-wrap in narrow viewports. As it turned out, the
problem was that we were always prefering a `preferred_line_length` as
our soft wrap boundary over the actual width of the editor.

Release Notes:

- Fixed git commits editor not respecting soft wrap boundaries.
- settings: Removed `"soft_wrap": "preferred_line_length"` in favour of
`"soft_wrap": "bounded"`. Soft wrap now always respects editor width
when it's enabled.
