Hmmm, we need the same routine with truncate_identifier(), but we hard
to use the function because it modifies the input buffer directly.
Since all of the name strings in dblink is const char *, I added
a bit modified version of the function as truncate_identifier_copy()
in the attached v2 patch.

Absolutely. I re-use the added function for the fix.
