One of the reviewers of commit fe07100 requested it [0]. At the time,
there was no reason to use NAMEDATALEN. I'm fine with lowering it if
needed for the shared tranche name work.
Presently, we also append a " DSA" suffix to the DSA tranche name in
GetNamedDSHash(). I was originally trying to use separate tranches for the
DSA and the dshash table for observability purposes, but since it seems to
be more trouble than it's worth, perhaps we should only allocate one
tranche.
