        Keep the generated names for "reallylongfilename (copy).txt" from
        overflowing the maximum allowed length for path names.

        Original patch by Dave Camp <campd@campd.org>

        * libnautilus-private/nautilus-file-operations.c
        (shorten_utf8_string): New function; takes an UTF8 string and
        hygienically truncates it to a given number of bytes.
        (get_link_name): Ensure the final name doesn't exceed a maximum length.
        (make_next_duplicate_name): Likewise.
        (get_max_name_length): Wrapper around pathconf() for basename lengths.
        (get_unique_target_file): Use a maximum length for the target name.
        (get_target_file_for_link): Likewise.
