Summary: Truncate Long Friendly Name

Initial Comment:
Probably this will get moved to 'Rejected Patches'
section. But I'll send it here for review anyway.

Changed function gaim_gtk_blist_get_name_markup in
gtkblist.c
so that it will truncate long friendly names in the
buddy list.
The truncate length is determined by an option in the
preference window


Changed function max_name_enter_callback in gtkprefs.c
to add a textbox and labels where the user can specify
the maximum length of friendly name before starting to
truncate it.

FYI, this is not UTF-8 safe and I agree with Mark

FYI I'm against committing this.  The ellipsizing feature in
gtk 2.6 eliminates the need for client-implemented truncation.
