Arduino-pro-ide: [UX] The board select dialog is broken when the window size is small

As a user, I can reduce the window size to 200X120 pixes but the board config dialog does not like it. It's a bug. See the screencast.

@kittaakos For now I'd define a minimum size for the window. Something like 900x800?

It's done. From now on, the minimum window size is 900 x 800. (CC: @ubidefeo)

I leave the issue open until we have a proper fix.

Not sure if this comment is really necessary, but please note that sweeping this bug under the carpet by making the minimal window size large enough to mask the bug, shouldn't be considered acceptable; especially as the "solution" creates a bigger problem than it solves (i.e. the tool has now become unnecessarily effectively unusable for those using machines with smaller display dimensions typical of many laptops for example; where before it was merely a visual layout bug which didn't inhibit use of the tool).
