displayID truncation in LOCUS field of GenBank conversions #620

An SBOL displayID value is often longer than 15 characters, but GenBank conversion in libSBOLj (and thus also the SBOL Converter and pySBOL2) truncates these fields at 15 characters. This, obviously, can lead to confusion when one tries to look at a set of identically named plasmids in a non-SBOL editor.

NCBI, however, no longer constrains the length of locus names: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genbank/samplerecord/#LocusB

Can we get a relaxation of the length constraint in the converter?
