fix: assertion log limit

[sgoossens]

Purpose (TL;DR) - mandatory

Allow for a log limit setting on the assertion object, that when true, will truncate the error.message that is returned via a failing assertion. The limit for the log message will be set to a default if none was provided

https://github.com/sinonjs/sinon/issues/2484

Background (Problem in detail) - optional

When a stubbed method has a large property on it, it is logged in the failing assertion causing runoff in the terminal and making it hard to see what assertion actually failed.

By allowing for a log limitation setting and a default log limit, error logs can be truncated.

How to verify - mandatory

1. use this app and point the sinon instance to this version
2. see the logs are reduced when the setting is on

Would you be interested in help getting it over the finish line? Have some time these days.

Sure that would be great. I lost track of this but think it would be a great add. I can also put some time in to addressing your feedback as well

OK, so I added test coverage, fixed up some logical errors, exposed the options on the sandbox creation, etc.

This is ready for merge from my perspective, but it does not change the default, as that would be a breaking change, but we can do that with version 18 . It still allows creating sandboxes with log limits, which is probably what you want right now.

The way I stubbed out
