I just realized we want -stdout's "format" to be FMT_TRUNC too so I 
fixed that. Now we can choose at run-time:

$ echo halloween | ../run/john -pipe -stdout=5
hallo
1p 0:00:00:00 0.00% 3.448p/s hallo

$ echo halloween | ../run/john -pipe -stdout -max-len=5
0p 0:00:00:00 0.00% 0p/s


BTW I suggest you refactor the "static struct fmt_main dummy_format" 
that stdout uses, to something that isn't confused with -format:dummy. I 
don't want to do it in Jumbo only, it should come from core.
