[Bug 1208838] [NEW] partial upgrade 'details' window does not fit on 768px high screen

[Steve Magoun]

Public bug reported:

The 'partial upgrade' window (/usr/lib/ubuntu-release-upgrader/do-
partial-upgrade --frontend=DistUpgradeViewGtk3) has a 'details' twisty
in it. If you open the twisty you get details about packages to be
installed/removed/upgraded. Opening the twisty makes the window taller;
if you open the twisty on a 768px screen (like the 1366x768 screen on my
Dell XPS 13), the window is taller than the screen and the Cancel/Start
Upgrade buttons are pushed offscreen.

To reproduce:
1) On a computer w/ 768px tall monitor, open the software updater
2) Perform a dist upgrade (in my case, the updater said I can only do a partial upgrade so I chose that option)
3) A window appears with the text, "Do you want to start the upgrade"
4) Click the 'Details' twisty to expand it

Expected results:
The details twisty opens but the window remains small enough to stay onscreen

Actual results:
The details twisty opens and the window is resized so that it is too tall to fit onscreen
