Town names have an upper limit of 31 characters. Is there any practical reason why this can't be extended?

Reported version: trunk
Operating system: All

There are two length limits:
* Maximum length for random generated town names.
* Maximum length for custom names when renaming towns.
Both limits are currently 31 characters.

The former limit is quite arbitrary, but should not be bigger than the latter, or renaming towns will be weird, since you cannot just replace single characters in a previously random name.

The latter limit is implied by the multiplayer network protocol, which is quite inflexible when it comes to strings.
