Shorten long CLI E2E test names and improve recording comment table

[JamesNK]

Summary

Two related improvements to CLI E2E test ergonomics:

1. Shorten long test method names

The longest test name (UpdateProjectChannelToStable_TypeScript_PreviewsStablePackagesAndPreservesChannel at 81 chars) caused readability issues in CI logs, PR comments, and the recording table. Shortened 11 test names exceeding 70 chars to ~55-60 chars while preserving meaning.

2. Compact recording comment table format

Changed the PR recording comment from a 5-column table (Status | Test | Recording | Job | Artifacts) to a more compact 3-column table (- | Test | Detail) where links are combined in the Detail cell with <br /> separators. This reduces horizontal scrolling on narrower views.

Example output:

-	Test	Detail
✅	UpdateToStable_TypeScript_PreviewsStablePkgsAndKeepsChannel	Recording Job CLI logs

Pull request overview

This PR improves CLI E2E test ergonomics by shortening overly long xUnit test method names (which also affect recording filenames) and by compacting the GitHub Actions PR comment that summarizes uploaded CLI E2E recordings.

Changes:

• Shortened several CLI E2E test method names to reduce noise in CI logs and recording tables.
• Updated the cli-e2e-recording-comment workflow to emit a 3-column table and combine related links into a single “Detail” cell using <br />.
• Updated the CLI E2E troubleshooting guide to reference the renamed test method.
