Reduce sidebar width

Summary:
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.
