This commit adds a limit to the `step_info` contained in `LifecycleExcutionState` so that large step info messages will not be stored in the cluster state. Additionally, when generating an ILM history failure, the full exception that is "stringified" is truncated to the same limit, ensuring that we do not accidentally index gigantic documents in the history store. The default limit is 1024 characters. Resolves elastic#124181

I think it would be valuable to add some truncation information to the string, i.e. ... x chars more or ... x chars truncated. If someone is looking at these step infos (from the API or the history), I think it would be valuable to know for sure that the string was truncated.

Thanks for the suggestion, I added this!
