+auto-fill-lines -> truncate-lines function

This function just converts auto-fill to long lines. This is easier to
manage and is just easier for me to use.

* Convert auto-fill lines to long truncate-lines
Consider some org file with auto filled lines.
I don't like auto-filled lines.
So I want to convert them.
I've setup macros countless times to do this operation for me, may as well formalize it as a function.
Firstly, I need a function to count the number of instances of some substring occur in some other string.
Shamelessly copied from rosetta code.
#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
(defun dx:org/count-sub (str pat)
(loop with z = 0 with s = 0 while s do
(when (setf s (search pat str :start2 s))
(incf z) (incf s (length pat)))
finally (return z)))
#+END_SRC
Then the main function, works like so:
1) Search the text in the region for newlines then join the lines to make a single segment
2) Search for sentences through Emacs builtin =forward-sentence= and =forward-char= functions then newline via sentences
#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
(defun dx:org/fill-to-long-lines ()
(interactive)
(let* ((beg (region-beginning))
(end (region-end))
(region-text (buffer-substring-no-properties beg end))
(n-sentences (dx:org/count-sub region-text "."))
(parsed-text (apply #'concatenate 'string (cl-loop for c from beg to end collect
(if (string= (buffer-substring-no-properties c (+ c 1)) "\n") " "
c)))))
(delete-region beg end)
(insert parsed-text)
(message "%s" n-sentences)
(evil-normal-state)
(evil-digit-argument-or-evil-beginning-of-line)
(cl-loop for i from 1 to n-sentences do (forward-sentence) (forward-char) (newline))))
