Title:
  The limit of the flavor extra_spec (value) size is too short

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  Opinion

Bug description:
  The maximum size of the flavor extra_spec value is 255 character [1], but this is not always enough.
  If I create a new flavor and I want to set the metadata, it is possible that there is not enough "space" (The metadata does not fit in the db record)
  E.g.: I change the metadata -in dashboard. I select all x86:[A-Z] opstions from CIM Processor Allocation Setting › Instruction Set Extension available metadata (They are longer than 255 character). When I want to save the changes, it does not allow this. (Error: Unable to edit the flavor extra specs and Error: Unable to update metadata)
