KDB truncates host names in vfcs

When issuing vfcs to kdb, it will truncate the host names if the vio name is longer than 10 characters. This should be either a dynamic field as is present for the cvai input or a minimum of 16 characters.

Example output:
(0)> vfcs
NAME ADDRESS STATE HOST HOST_ADAP OPENED NUM_ACTIVE
