sanity.bbclass: add check for creation of long filenames

Detect and fail if filesystem in use for TMPDIR or SSTATE_DIR has an
unreasonably short file name length limit (eg. eCryptFS). This can cause
"file name too long" errors during poky builds (e.g. when writing sstate
files for packages with a git revision as the version).
