Application limit for ES indexed field length

Dylan Griffith requested to merge 201826-es-field-length-limit into master

What does this MR do?

Using the plan_limit table we can down store a limit for the maximum size of any fields being indexed in Elasticsearch. This is for #201826 (closed) . Any strings above the length limit will be truncated down to the limit.

We default to 0 which means unlimited so this has no affect for self-managed customers. On GitLab.com we will likely want to set this to around 20k as a sensible upper limit on what we should store.
