Limit the length of the returned label to 128 chars [#1434884]

Hi There
This module is used by views_boxes to pass argument of type entity reference. When the title entity being referred has more than 128 characters it produces this error:

nid_####-#### cannot be longer than 128 characters but is currently 132 characters long.

This seems to relate to the fact that maxlength on a textfield in D7 is 128 characters: http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/developer%21topics%21forms_api_referenc...

New patch with the same logic, wrapped in a function that return the properly formatted label, so it can be used by other modules: http://drupal.org/node/1439008.
