Add truncate style for path

[jcs090218]

Hmmm... I have tried implements #276. I would say this is a frame so we can implement more styles in the future.

@JesusMtnez What do you think? 😕

(setq dashboard-path-style 'truncate-middle)
(setq dashboard-path-max-length 50)

Okay, this turn out became a huge patch. This patch does the following.

Truncate long path

• Introduce variable dashboard-path-style for truncate the long path - nil (below are related variables)
  • dashboard-path-shorten-string - "..."
  • dashboard-path-max-length - 70

Show base of the path in front (Inspired by VSCode)

• Introduce variable dashboard-recentf-show-base and dashboard-projects-show-base for showing the base of the path. (below are related variables)
  • dashboard-recentf-item-format - "%s %s"
  • dashboard-projects-item-format - "%s %s"

By setting dashboard-projects-show-base to t, you get the following. If nil then it does nothing

For the newest version of this branch. It gives this result.

(setq dashboard-path-style 'truncate-end
      dashboard-path-max-length 60
      dashboard-projects-show-base 'align
      dashboard-recentf-show-base 'align
      dashboard-recentf-item-format "%s  %s"
      dashboard-projects-item-format "%s  %s")

It would be a good idea to add some documentation in the README though.

Yeah, I'm still working on the style you mentioned in doom-midline! Documentation would be the next step after this! It is still WIP. ;)
