Truncate string after a given number of chars keeping whole words

Truncates a string after a given length, keeping the last word complete. This filter is more precise than the default `truncatewords` filter. Words length vary too much, 10 words may result in 40 or 70 characters, so cutting by character count makes more sense. There is a [blog post](http://ricobl.wordpress.com/2008/12/23/templates-django-filtro-truncatewords-melhorado/) about this snippet (in Portuguese).
