Text Entity Creation String Length

[alexrmay91]

Describe the bug

When creating a text entity, the max length can be configured, but it does not work.

To Reproduce

1. Add a new entity configuration from within a home assistant text node.
2. Configure the max length to be 500 characters
3. Deploy to update home assistant entity
4. Find entity and enter a string larger than 255 but smaller than 500 characters
5. Press enter

Expected behavior

I expect to be able to paste in a string up to the character length specified.

Update: I immediately figured out that home assistant only allows a maximum of 255 characters for a text entity and what I entered in node red was simple being capped at that 255. Not a bug.
