Truncates the amount of lines output by _html_repr_ for DataSet/DataArray objects.

Motivation is that currently, if an attribute has a larger number of line breaks, it will pollute your Jupyter (etc) view. For example, I like to append the measurement script source file to all my measurement results. When I then load the netcdf file, the attributes will contain a file with potentially hundreds of lines. I don't want all these lines to be shown in my output cells when viewing the html representation.

In the suggested edit, max_lines defines above which amount of lines the output should be truncated, while min_lines defines how many should still be shown (like a preview). The current values of 15 and 10 are somewhat arbitrary.
