Fix issue with long identifier names in GLSL output (#1731)

* #include an absolute path didn't work - because paths were taken to always be relative.

* First pass at handling 'names' that are too long in GLSL output.

* Test to check functionality with very long func name.

* Add access a long names buffer.

* Fix typo in assert.
Fix issue with coercion error for 1.0f / 0x7fffffff
