Option to truncate album and title #267

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Feature to avoid error of filename too long preventing the album from being downloaded, and a problem when the path is long but the album is downloaded anyway, causing windows to not be able to rename the folder or move it.

Describe the solution you'd like
A way to set a "max length" for album title and track title, and if either surpass this length the path would be truncated to be below the specified length (but metadata would be kept intact).

Describe alternatives you've considered
Manually changing the template for albums that present this problem as to not use album title or track title. It does work of course but can be very time consuming for large discographies.

Additional context
Here's examples of albums that present this problem:
This one I can't even download, it returns an error for filename too long.

These two do download, but windows can't handle the folder name, I can't rename or move, just delete the folder.
