Very long `title` setting prevents backups from being made

Bug
1

When you configure a title longer than X characters, it will prevent backups from being made.

EXCEPTION: /var/www/discourse/lib/discourse.rb:139:in 'exec': rm: cannot remove '/var/www/discourse/public/backups/default/redacted-xxx(...)xxx-2025-01-17-125027-v20250116024516.tar': File name too long

Yes, people really do that.

Proposed fix

    def get_parameterized_title
      SiteSetting.title.parameterize.presence[..64] || "discourse"
    end

Well they shouldn’t!

I suppose your point is that this is yet another case that I should not tell them that they are wrong.
