Jamie Lokier 9a28ed7ef5 RLPx: Protocol names have never been limited to 3 characters
Don't treat 3 characters as special in `cmp`.  `cmp` for `ProtocolInfo` was
wrong because it ignored all characters after the first 3.

In the wild we have seen protocol names longer than 3 characters.  `snap`,
`hive`, `istanbul`, `bzzeth`, `bzz-stream`, `bzz-retrieve`, `dbix`, `opera`,
`pchain`, `pchain_child_0`, `sero`, `smilobft`, `spock`.

There was never a 3 character limit in the [specification]
(https://github.com/ethereum/devp2p/blob/master/rlpx.md).

It always said "short ASCII name", until recently on 2021-02-25 it was changed
to an 8 characters limit.

Also `pi.nameStr` can be removed.  Nothing uses it, and it has the same actual
effect as just copying the string `pi.name`.
