    ptserver: Do not use cell for entry name len check
    
    Do not use the local cell name when determining if a new entry name is
    too long. This check assumes that foreign cells will use our local
    cell name (assumed to be our local Kerberos realm) in a certain way,
    and prevents creating users that will make those names too long.
    
    This is undesirable for several reasons. One is that the local realm
    name may not be the same as the local cell name (and we may have many
    local realms). Another is that we cannot reliably predict how foreign
    cells will construct foreign pt entry names, so preventing entry
    creation based on that may prevent names that will never cause any
    problems. This check also assumes that our names will be used as
    foreign entries in other cells, which may not be the case.
    
    So, remove the check based on the local cell name, and remove the
    pr_realmNameLen variable while we are at it, since this is all it is
    used for.
    
    Thanks to Jeffrey Altman for discussion, and for bringing this up in
    the first place.
