Subject: [PATCH] loginDialog: use two column view if banner message long

Frequently banner messages are longer than can reasonable
fit in a one column view, which leads to a smooshed layout.

This commit changes the layout to a two column view, with the
banner on the left and the prompt on the right, if the banner
message is long enough that it can't fit well above the prompt.
If there isn't enough space for two columns then we keep the
one column layout but add scrollbars.
