Description

When viewing the table of WireGuard peers, some columns are truncated to make them all fit. I think the most important column on that table is the Description since that identifies who each Peer is, but it is truncated to only 16 characters. The table also has a Public Key field also truncated to 16 characters (or 32 on the Tunnels page). Can we please fix this so the Description is not truncated?

Options:
1) Reduce the excessive white space between columns and minimum widths of columns ("Endpoint:Port" is too wide).
2) Remove the Public Key column completely. I don't know any reason why it needs to be on the table since it's available if you click the peer.
3) Remove the Public Key column and add a little icon next to the Edit icon that looks like a Key, which you can hover to view the PK and click to copy it to the clipboard.
4) Truncate the Public Key column to 5 characters to make more space. What's the difference between 5 and 16 since it's truncated either way? We certainly don't need to see 32 characters of it on the Tunnels page while the Description is limited to 16.

Also, if you must truncate the Description cells, then when I hover over a truncated Description cell, it should show a tooltip with the whole value, like it currently does for Public Key and Allowed IPs (if the Peer has more than one Allowed IP).
