Description
This is a followup to #9099 and a generalization of #8814
The usability of these buttons is compromised because the git-provider name is truncated, and there is no way of seeing the full name. In the examples below, users are forced to guess which button refers to their private bitbucket server, and which refers to bitbucket.org.
For git-providers with longer names, it would be better to show wider buttons, or wrap the text and grow the button vertically. Tooltips are not a good workaround because they are inaccessible e.g. on mobile.

Inspect the existing button layout and compare it with the screenshots; done means the full provider names are visible without relying on tooltips in both locations.
