GUI fixes: Elide playback name label if needed and…

If the name is too long, elide it centrally, so that a horizontal scrollbar isn't needed (and isn't shown).

Also, don't force a height on progressbars because some widget styles may not show any bar with a forced height.

Closes https://github.com/lxqt/pavucontrol-qt/issues/99 and closes https://github.com/lxqt/pavucontrol-qt/issues/75
