Limit the length of names to 80 characters

Shorten two CSS function features, the longest of which was 56
characters long. The remaining names that list function names consists
of 3 functions or less.

The longest remaining name is 43 characters long:
ARIA attribute reflection (initial support)

I like the fact that we enfore a max limit. I imagine this could be a useful guarantee to consumers of the data.
I don't know about picking 50 though. It feels a tad short and I'm guessing we might need to up that limit at some point in the future.
How about picking 100 instead? It feels more manageable on the long run, and would still play the role of communicating a limit to consumers.

I think 100 is longer than we need since the longest we've written so far was only 56 characters long, and arguably that was a bad "short" name. I'd prefer names that would fit in a presentation like https://wpt.fyi/interop-2024 without line wrapping, but that only fits roughly 40 characters, and I think that's too short.

The longest I think we should go is 80, as a commonly used line length limit:

Following some Git conventions, 50 and 72 are also options:

(But this isn't why I picked 50, I discovered this now.)

Since any limit is better than no limit, I'll take anything we can agree to :)

My vote goes to 80.

80 it is! I'll also back out the name changes that aren't needed then.
