information_schema output columns that are declared as being type sql_identifier are supposed to conform to the implementation's rules for valid identifiers, in particular the identifier length limit. Several places potentially violated this limit by concatenating a function's name and OID. (The OID is added to ensure name uniqueness within a schema, since the spec doesn't expect function name overloading.) Simply truncating the concatenation result to fit in "name" won't do, since losing part of the OID might wind up giving non-unique results. Instead, let's truncate the function name as necessary. The most practical way to do that is to do it in a C function; the information_schema.sql script doesn't have easy access to the value of NAMEDATALEN, nor does it have an easy way to truncate on the basis of resulting byte-length rather than number of characters. (There are still a couple of places that cast concatenation results to sql_identifier, but as far as I can see they are guaranteed not to produce over-length strings, at least with the normal value of NAMEDATALEN.)
