Aliaksandr Valialkin 3c036e0d31 lib/logstorage: ignore logs with too long field names during data ingestion
Previously too long field names were silently truncated. This is not what most users expect.
It is better ignoring the whole log entry in this case and logging it with the WARNING message,
so human operator could notice and fix the ingestion of incorrect logs ASAP.

The commit also adds and updates the following entries to VictoriaLogs faq:

- https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victorialogs/faq/#how-many-fields-a-single-log-entry-may-contain
- https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victorialogs/faq/#what-is-the-maximum-supported-field-name-length
- https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victorialogs/faq/#what-length-a-log-record-is-expected-to-have

These entries are referred at `-insert.maxLineSizeBytes` and `-insert.maxFieldsPerLine` command-line descriptions
and at the WARNING messages, which are emitted when log entries are ignored because of some of these limits
are exceeded.
