Policy and VServer name length limitation (127 characters)

[cbunix]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. A clear and concise description of what the problem is. Ex. I'm always frustrated when [...] Yes, in our k8s environment we exceed always the name limitations of 127 characters for policy names and vservers, because ingress controller is settings it's name depending on the service name, etc. in k8s. eg.: k8scadev-prometheus-operator-alertmanager_infra-monitoring_80_k8scadev-prometheus-operator-alertmanager_infra-monitoring_9093_svc

Describe the solution you'd like A clear and concise description of what you want to happen. increase the names to 256 characters

Describe alternatives you've considered A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered. change the name concept in ingress controller

Maybe the ingress controller should shorten the name if it exceeds a limit on the netscaler side?
