Truncate the file behind the given channel at the given location (or the current by default). Operation is (probably) not supported by non-file channels.

    :   '''chan truncate''' ''channelId'' ?''length''?

Like the ''ftruncate()'' call in C's stdio.

Introduced in Tcl 8.5.

----
[AMG]: Any plans to add support for [[chan truncate]] to [reflected channel]s?
