Guard against overly-long numeric formatting symbols from locale.
to_char() allocates its output buffer with 8 bytes per formatting
code in the pattern. If the locale's currency symbol, thousands
separator, or decimal or sign symbol is more than 8 bytes long,
in principle we could overrun the output buffer. No such locales
exist in the real world, so it seems sufficient to truncate the
symbol if we do see it's too long.
