Unlike commands such as CREATE DATABASE, ProcessStartupPacket()
does not perform multibyte-aware truncation of overlength names.
This means that connection attempts might fail even if the user
provides the same overlength names that were used in CREATE
DATABASE, CREATE ROLE, etc. Ideally, we'd do the same multibyte-
aware truncation in both code paths, but it doesn't seem worth the
added complexity of trying to discover the encoding of the names.
Instead, let's simply skip truncating the names in the startup
packet and let the user/database lookup fail later on. With this
change, users must provide the exact names stored in the catalogs,
even if the names were truncated.
This reverts commit d18c1d1f51.
