"resume" file names get truncated with no error raised #3

Description

@jessmuir

Hello! I've run into an issue where if the multinest output file name base is longer than 100 characters, they just get truncated. I ran into this when running on a computing cluster where I was outputting to a scratch directory with a long path name, and it ended up trimming off the suffix of all the output files that I would have used to resume the multinest run if it got stopped early. This prevented me from being able to resume the job. It would be helpful to add a check so that the code would raise an error or warning if the output file base is going to be too long.
