ogr shapefile wfs output does not launder names

Description

Normally, ogr2ogr exporting to shapefile will launder/normalize long field names. The ogr wfs export will not. Perhaps an option in the format driver parameters to allow launder?

I think it is sufficient to pass bApproxOK = TRUE to OGR_L_CreateField() to get the same behavior as ogr2ogr. This lets the driver launder the field name and generally just makes things forgiving of limitations of the destination format. Change applied (r10859) but not actually tested.
