[Theme Editor] Expand File URL display in theme editor

Problem statement:

When reviewing the file upload when designing and deploying a theme, I can't see what file I've uploaded to the CSS and JS options as the entire non-resizing box is taken up by the first part of the uploaded URL.

Proposed solution:

Remove the internal storage location prefix from the theme editor for these files when viewing normally, and/or expand the size of these to allow fast review of what's been uploaded. This would allow an easy sanity check in the case of a necessary review of what file has been uploaded from our version control system, instead of showing the https://instructure.... location repeatedly instead of the file itself.

As we're solely responsible for maintaining our own code here, easing this path will simplify troubleshooting required on theme changes.

Thanks for submitting your feature idea. This seems like it fits well into the "Save Admins Time and Clicks" theme, so I've associated it under that.
