feat: add file path tooltips with centralized PathTooltip component

- Add PathTooltip component that wraps StandardTooltip with proper styling
- Use maxWidth='min(300px,100vw)' via inline style to override defaults
- Apply '[text-wrap:wrap]' class to override text-balance behavior
- Add formatPathTooltip helper for consistent path content formatting
- Update CodeAccordian, ChatRow, and BatchFilePermission to use PathTooltip
- Centralizes tooltip behavior and reduces duplication

Supersedes PR #8797.
