"MySQL user names can be up to 16 characters long." (
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/user-names.html )

koha-create constructs the mysql username for a new instance by prepending
"koha_" to the instancename. If this results in a username that is longer than
16 characters, mysql will give an error. 

koha-create should do one of these: 

- check the length of the provided instancename and exit with an explanatory
message if the mysql username will be too long

- truncate the instancename and use the resulting string as the mysql username,
making sure to put the right string in koha-conf.xml
