fix(view): sort and truncate dist-tags (#7808)

This sorts dist-tags by publish date so that newer tags show first,
giving top priority to the `latest` tag.

It also truncates the list in a similar manner to how dependencies are
truncated.

Needs tests.

Before: 
![dist-tags list in npm view showing every tag shorted by
version](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/9a8b094f-f466-439c-927b-21dbeb896322)

After:
![dist-tags list in npm view showing a truncated list sorted by publish
date](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/8727c387-21ed-4fe3-8f09-dc8b93bfe75f)
