Show syntax lexer name in file view/blame (go-gitea#21814)

Show which Chroma Lexer is used to highlight the file in the file
header. It's useful for development to see what was detected, and I
think it's not bad info to have for the user:

Also, I improved the way this header overflows on small screens:
