Daniel Martí 41df1f8725 slightly reduce the range of hashed name lengths
v0.8.0 was improved to obfuscate names so that they didn't all end up
with the same length. We went from a length fixed to 8 to a range
between 8 and 15.

Since the new mechanism chooses a length evenly between 8 and 15,
the average hashed name length went from 8 to 11.5.

While this improved obfuscation, it also increased the size of
obfuscated binaries by quite a bit. We do need to use a reasonably large
length to avoid collisions within packages, but we also don't want it to
be large enough to cause too much bloat.

Reduce the minimum and maximum from 8 and 15 to 6 and 12. This means
that the average goes fro 11.5 to 9, much closer to the old average.
We could consider a range of 4 to 12, but 4 bytes is short enough where
collisions become likely in practice, even if it's just the minimum.
And a range of 6 to 10 shrinks the range a bit too much.
