What?

Allow menu item help text in DropdownMenuV2 to break more deliberately to avoid unexpected un-truncated text

Why?

Because otherwise a menu item's help text could not be truncated in case its contents don't break to a new line

How?

By adding word-break: break all

Testing Instructions

Apply the following changes to the component's Storybook example:

diff --git a/packages/components/src/dropdown-menu-v2/stories/index.story.tsx b/packages/components/src/dropdown-menu-v2/stories/index.story.tsx

  1. On trunk, notice how the help text would cause the menu to scroll horizontally, since the text can't be correctly truncated
  2. On this PR's branch, notice how the text gets truncated correctly
