Alfresco on Windows: maximum path length patch

Alfresco Tomcat temporal files are named by using hardcoded prefixes in the source code. As Windows has a 256 characters available for paths, this limit can be reached easily when using LibreOffice transformations.C:\Alfresco\apache-tomcat\temp\Alfresco\LargeFilenameToIncludeOnTransformation.docx-Op

I didn't see this reported in the issue tracker, so I went ahead and did that.

https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ALF-21479

We need to evaluate this for side-effects to see if we can include it.

Thanks Angel for all your contributions!

It's a pleasure.

I thought that is was a really minor problem with very few impact: it's only for Windows based servers and for very long filenames. That's why I've not raised an issue. I'll do that next time.

Thanks
