Subject: [PATCH] Tools: hv: Fix for long file names from readdir

kvp_get_if_name and kvp_mac_to_if_name copy strings into statically
sized buffers which could be too small to store really long names.

Buffer sizes have been changed to PATH_MAX, include "limits.h" where
PATH_MAX is defined was added and length checks ware added via snprintf.
