Michael Lotz 5bc9fb9d24 * Replace the truncate_string() helper function with a new, simplified version.
* Remove no longer necessary support functions.
* The new version uses a single BString as input/output parameter and only
  modifies that one by removing non-fitting chars and inserting the ellipsis
  where appropriate, so avoids copying around bytes/chars/strings in a few
  places. It uses the new Chars functions of BString so also no need for manual
  multibyte handling.
* Adjusted the BFont and ServerFont usage of truncate_string() which are both
  simplified by using the single BString. It avoids a lot of temprary
  allocations and string copying. The char * version of BFont
  GetTruncatedStrings() now uses the BString version and not the other way
  around anymore which requires us to allocate temporary BString objects, it's
  not worse than before though.
* This fixes a bunch of problems with the previous functions like always
  prepending the ellipsis for B_TRUNCATE_BEGINNING, crashing on short enough
  widths, violating the width in the B_TRUNCATE_END case when the width was
  short enough, non-optimal truncation in a few cases and sometimes truncation
  where none would've been needed. Also fixes #4128 which was a symptom of the
  broken B_TRUNCATE_BEGINNING.
