when using ${project.artifactId} for the service/DC/RC metadata.name we should trim to 24 characters

[jstrachan]

if an archetypeId is too long we should automatically trim it to avoid creating an invalid kubernetes/openshift set of resources

[jstrachan]

we might want to also convert to lowercase and remove any invalid characters too

We already have the truncation when creating the default resource names.

We can add even more name mangling here. Are there any other spots where this should be done ?

[jstrachan]

so in the new arquillian system tests for the quickstarts I was getting failures - due to Service metadata.name being too big for a few of the quickstarts. I worked around it for now by manually truncating the artifactId:
https://github.com/fabric8io/ipaas-quickstarts/blob/master/archetype-itests/src/test/java/io/fabric8/tooling/archetype/generator/ArchetypeTest.java#L229-L230

I suspect the failure is probably that we don't truncate the yaml files such as this:
https://github.com/fabric8-quickstarts/cdi-cxf/blob/master/src/main/fabric8/service.yml

i.e. we maybe wanna check we're doing the truncation when we post process partial yaml files

Note that service names up to 63 characters will be allowed in Kubernetes v1.4 (from RFC-952 to RFC-1035) as per kubernetes/kubernetes#29523.

So we should ideally adjust to that new limit at some point and this will come handy with longer names like quickstart names.
