Longer panel name and control names

Status: New

At the moment the maximum panel and control name length is limitted to 32, if you set them programmatically.

 

Because of longer customer system signal names it is not possible to use them directly as control names. If the maximum length could be raised to 64 or to the maximum label length, it would help to avoid to generate new control names and the additional mapping between costumer system signal names and the generated control names in the test environment.

I believe the 32-character max is a limitation for ANSI C function declarations. For portability, it probably has to stay that way.
