Implement a re-usable function to shorten strings #1167

@Huyeng @DragonVirus In different parts of our code base we are shortening strings so they are not too long. Examples of this are:

On the odm_excerpt function under inc/utils/content.php for shortening excerpts if too long
On the echo_post_meta function under inc/utils/content.php for shortening source if too long

The logic of this new function shorten_string_words should:

return unmodified strings which are already shorter than the default number of words (40) or number of words specified by parameter.
remove no-zero-space characters from Khmer texts
Do NOT add "..." if text is shortened, this should be done outside the function
