Description
Issue
GuiKeyValueDisplay lacks overflow text handling, leading to issues with shield segment displays (#2648) and science database k/v contents.
Suggested fix
Implement existing improvements to wrap/clip state management to allow keys and values to wrap to additional lines. Either handle background scaling similarly to other elements, or implement sliced backgrounds capable of arbitrary scaling.

Research direction
Locate GuiKeyValueDisplay and inspect the existing wrap/clip state management used by related GUI elements. Check how shield segment displays and science database key/value contents use it; done means keys and values can wrap or clip without overflow, with backgrounds scaling or being sliced for arbitrary sizes.
