[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] Increase may key and value max length (#2025)

[Yves Pratter]

Ok. But what is the risk if some downstream consumers are not updated ?

- Analysers could crash : yes, but they could be "quickly" patched.
- Editors may limit values length to 255 chars and lost the end : we could retrieve previous value with the history. And it's not worse than now.

First, we could list all editors currently used. (see comment in [Overpass-API/issues/189](https://github.com/drolbr/Overpass-API/issues/189#issuecomment-663849339)).

Then, we could check them with a test API (a static URL that send one object with a long value)
And/or send emails to their developpers to check their tools themselves.

Finally, only after main "consumers" are tested/updated, push this in production.
