Fix Find/Replace dialog size and auto-shrink to fit screen

[tanish0499]

Summary

Fixes the Find/Replace dialog growing to an excessive width. Entering a long string in the Find or Replace combo box expanded the editable combos to fit their content, forcing the whole dialog wider — and that oversized size was persisted, so it reopened huge every time.

Root cause

comboFind and comboReplace are editable with a MinimumExpanding policy and no sizeAdjustPolicy, so their size hint grew to fit the longest content. That width got saved via saveGeometry() and restored on the next open.

Changes

• FindReplaceDialog.ui — set sizeAdjustPolicy = AdjustToMinimumContentsLengthWithIcon on both combos so their size hint no longer depends on content length. Prevents the problem going forward.
• FindReplaceDialog.cpp — in loadSettings(), clamp the restored geometry to the available screen size, so users who already have an oversized dialog saved in notepadnext.ini recover automatically.

Testing

• Long strings in Find/Replace no longer widen the dialog.
• A pre-existing oversized geometry now opens clamped to the screen.
• Recent-item history and geometry persistence still work.

Hi @tanish0499

I do not see this behavior in the current master branch:

Hi @dail8859 ,
Sorry for creating confusion, please try "find option" with a long string, and then close the NotepadNext and reopen it. Afterthat open search dialog, it gets stretched to fill the string in one line.
I'm attaching the videos also of both mac and windows behaviour. I will also update the PR description to pinpoint exact behaviour.
