Issue a warning instead of an error for long Names

Browse Source 
The PDF specification (cited below) specifies a maximum length of a name
in bytes as a minimal architectural limit. This means that PDF *writers*
should not create names that exceed 127 bytes.

It does not forbid PDF *readers* to accept such names though. These
names are only used internally to link PDF objects to other objects. For
these use cases, the lengths of the names do not really matter. Hence I
have changed the implementation to not treat long names as errors, but
warnings.

> (7.3.5) The length of a name shall be subject to an implementation
> limit; see Annex C.
>
> (Annex C.2) Table C.1 describes the minimum architectural limits that
> should be accommodated by conforming readers running on 32-bit
> machines. Because conforming readers may be subject to these limits,
> conforming writers producing PDF files should remain within them.
>
> (Table C.1) name 127 "Maximum length of a name, in bytes."
