winedbg: Support longer thread names

[Erich Hoover]

I am not very familiar with the winedbg code and do not see any easy (ie,
non-hackish) way to get the length of the string in order to properly
allocate the name size.  I could read back a "large buffer" and use the
string resulting from that to determine how large of a name to allocate, but
that seems slightly hackish.  If you have a suggestion then I'm all ears.
