Description

Fixes #60826

On the Welcome page, recently opened Geopackage projects previously had names that were hard to read, and this issue has already been fixed. (#60827)

However, I noticed that under Project → Open Recent, Geopackage-based projects are still displayed using the raw storage URI or file path, which makes the menu entries difficult to read and inconsistent with the Welcome page.

This pull request updates the Recent Projects menu to resolve the display path via QgsProjectStorage, falling back to the original path when necessary, so that the menu shows a more user-friendly path, consistent with the Welcome page behavior.

I am a C++ beginner, and this is my attempt to fix the issue and improve UI consistency.

A screenshot below shows the menu behavior after applying this change.
