Make the list scrollable

Research direction

Reproduce the public room search dialogue at the server chooser with enough homeservers to exceed the viewport, using the reported 1920x1080 context. Inspect that chooser's layout and make the list scrollable so the first server, matrix.org, remains selectable; verify the behavior with a long list.
