* write any partial message
* instead of "..." show a sensible (translatable) message
This does slightly lower the amount of data that can be printed,
and makes the exact amount dependent on the language. However, if boot.py
intentionally needs to produce larger amounts of output, it can
deliberately mount the filesystem in RW mode and perform any writes needed.
In that case it's up to the boot.py to choose an appropriate way to
limit the number of writes if needed for the application.
