Reduce sidebar width
Summary: BUG: 385992 FIXED-IN: 5.12.3 This is a hack to work around the fact that we're using the wrong UI element for Discover's sidebar (see [[https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=390928|Bug 390928]]). We use a Kirigami GlobalDrawer for the sidebar, which is problematic because the GlobalDrawer's width is always a minimum of 360 pixels on the desktop--far too wide for our use case (see [[https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=390927|Bug 390927]]). Replacing the GlobalDrawer with something more appropriate is going to be a lot of work, so until then, let's not torture our users with the humongous sidebar any longer and just force it to be a smaller size for now. I think this is a vast visual improvement because it returns the focus to the content, rather than the navigation. It makes Discover feel less "fat." Test Plan: Before, small window: {F5726133} After, small window: {F5726132} Before, medium window: {F5726113} After, medium window: {F5726114} Before, app page: {F5726115} After, app page: {F5726116} Before, default view: {F5726137} After, default view: {F5726138} We may want to consider changing the default window size to be less wide if this patch lands, since with a narrower sidebar, the main view doesn't need to be so wide.
