Truncate large values inside of Firebase notification body fields. (#386

)

* Truncate large fields within gcm notification body

* Add changelog entry

* Fix terminology

* Add ellipsis add end of truncated content fields

* Add ellipsis after full max bytes since it's an arbitrary size anyway

* Add warning log when firebase notification contains too many large fields

* Use proper ellipsis

Co-authored-by: Erik Johnston <[email protected]>

* Fix new ellipsis tests

* Add unicode support when truncating large fields

* Remove redundant bytes conversion during truncation

* Add docs for truncate_str

* Clarify func docs

* Remove whitespace

* Use Tuple instead of tuple in type signature
