I'm not sure what the consequences of returning an error here are versus silently truncating. Before this change you'd have hostname "longerthan16chars.local" and it would get passed through as "longerthan16cha" but now mount_smbfs would fail with an error? If that assertion is true maybe it would be better just to copy and truncate at 16 than to return an error.

Per discussion in the PR, truncate the host name to 15 bytes.

For the local host name, it seems that truncating to 15-bytes is the right thing. For the server name, it's probably a bug if we are given a server name larger than 16 bytes and we should fail.
