    Revert "Simplify ephy_string_shorten()"
    
    This reverts commit 232c613472b38ff0d0d97338f366024ddb9cd228.
    
    I got my browser stuck in a crash loop today while visiting a website
    with a page title greater than ephy-embed.c's MAX_TITLE_LENGTH, the only
    condition in which ephy_string_shorten() is ever used. Turns out this
    commit is wrong: an ellipses is a multibyte character (three bytes in
    UTF-8) and so we're writing past the end of the buffer when calling
    strcat() here. Ooops.
    
    Shame it took nearly four years to notice and correct this.
