Currently, in *Backtrace* we have a nice behavior for cl-printed objects
where they're truncated by default to a manageable size but we can click
on the "..." to expand them when needed.
The patch below moves that functionality to `cl-print.el` such
that it can be enjoyed "everywhere" (bug#64536). It also has the
benefit of simplifying the code since `backtrace.el` had to look for
ellipses in order to add buttons to them, whereas now we can put
the ellipses right when we write them.
