Display Manager truncates mode names

Details by Andrew Hodgkinson (6):
Long mode names are truncated by the Display Manager. As hardware gets more varied and there’s a desire for a more appropriate and generic “monitor” in the form of a new default MDF, this is problematic as descriptive mode names are useful. For example:
1024 × 600 TouchBk.…is needed as:
1024 × 600 (Touchbook)…gets truncated. This is most likely a very simple fix, aside from the procedural overhead of CVS and ROM building.

Turns out it’s not display manager’s fault (it reserves 64 bytes in the templates).
It’s the ScrModes module with a wholey unexplained 19 limit.
Bumped to 32 in ScrModes-0_34.
