gpui: Add `text_ellipsis_start` method (#45122)

This PR is an additive change introducing the `truncate_start` method to
labels, which gives us the ability to add an ellipsis at the beginning
of the text as opposed to the regular `truncate`. This will be generally
used for truncating file paths, where the end is typically more relevant
than the beginning, but given it's a general method, there's the
possibility to be used anywhere else, too.
