Standardize model name field lengths

[ledgley]

Environment

• Python version:
• NetBox version: 2.8.9

Proposed Functionality

Increase max_length of the 'name' field under the IPAM.Service model from 30 to 255

    name = models.CharField(
        max_length=255
    )

Use Case

We use this model to track services hosted on load balancers, as a one stop view to find a particular farm across a large estate of ADC's. We use the name field as the farm name, which is typically a URL, which is commonly longer than 30 characters. Propose to increase to 255, as the maximum length of a domain name is 253 chars.

#4416 didn't appear to increase this. I think URL might not be the best in there however we can take a look at this.

I don't know what you mean by "farm name," but this field is not intended to represent a URL. The service name should be a human-friendly string.

I don't know what you mean by "farm name,"

By farm name I mean the name of the 'server farm', which is typically referenced by it's URL, ie. intranet.company.com

This issue was originally opened to extend the length of the name field for the Service model, but there are probably others to revisit as well.

Tagging this v2.10 so I remember to conduct an audit.
