Description of the change

This is an additional performance improvement for our data processing and cleaning. We don't want to traverse and shorten deep in a large data structure if we are going to later drop that structure.

By changing to a breadth first traversal for the ShortenerTransform we ensure we only traverse data structures we will pass to further transforms.

One change that comes out of this impacts how we pass shortened objects between transforms. The ShortenerTransform no longer turns list and other built-in types into strings e.g. '[1, 2, 3, ...]'. It now returns a list e.g. [1, 2, 3, '...'].

@danielmorell , I have reviewed the code and performed my old tests, it mostly looks good to me, with the exception of dictionary handling
"6": "{...}" was changed to just "6": {}. To me as a user, this would not indicate that something got truncated. For example, with this change, my output var looks like this:
{ "1": 1, "2": { "3": { "4": { "level4": "good", "level5": { "6": {}, "toplevel": "ok" } } } } } where before I got
{ "1": 1, "2": { "3": { "4": { "level4": "good", "level5": { "6": "{...}", "toplevel": "ok" } } } } } . I think I liked {...} better . Maybe we can use {"..." : "..."} as the default to indicate a truncated dict - something we use for the list, which looks good now:

before:

[ "good_5", "[...]" ]
after:
[ "good_5", [ "..." ] ]
