Problem
Kubo 0.38 ships with fixes that make it easier for users to name pins. Not having a limit comes with a risk of future limit breaking existing users. Let's add limit before it becomes a problem.
Solution
This PR adds validation to ensure pin names don't exceed 255 bytes across all commands that accept pin names. this prevents issues with filesystem limitations and improves compatibility.
255 was picked as lowest common denominator for max filename length in operating systems (mac/linux/windows).
