Fix silent error when reporting builds to CDash (#47939)

* Fix silent error when reporting builds to CDash
   CDash has a 191 char maximum for build names.  When this
   is exceeded, CDash silently fails to correctly process the
   reported XML. This truncates CDash build names to 190 chars
   and emits a warning indicating it is doing so to prevent
   such errors from occuring.
* test/reporters.py: add unittest for buildname len issue
* test/reporters.py: rename cdash buildname test
* ci/common.py: fix syntax causing breaking test
   It appears that the CDash reporter is expecting a string
   as the buildname.
* Update lib/spack/spack/reporters/cdash.py
   Fix warning message to reflect actual issue.

* ci/common.py: fix function call to actually call function
