UI redesign: more-less message interaction.

This commit encompasses the following changes:
* Replace the [More...] link with a button titled "Show more".
* Replace the [Show Less...] link with a button titled "Show less".
* Add various on-hover interactions to the buttons.
* In the condensed view, add fading to the bottom of the message to
  visually communicate that the message is truncated.
* Update /help/ description.

Fixes #22801.
