bitmap: Enforce maximum bitmap name length
We document that for qcow2 persistent bitmaps, the name cannot exceed 1023 bytes. It is inconsistent if transient bitmaps do not have to abide by the same limit, and it is unlikely that any existing client even cares about using bitmap names this long. It's time to codify that ALL bitmaps managed by qemu (whether persistent in qcow2 or not) have a documented maximum length.
