Allow Esri Shapefile Field Name to be longer than 10 characters

When exporting a drainage flex table in ESRI format, the default field names include names longer than 10 characters. This throws the error message: "The Esri Shapefile field name <Middle_Flow> for column <Flow (Middle)> cannot be longer than 10 characters" for every non-conforming field name. Either change the default field names to less than 10 characters, or allow field names longer than 10 characters.
