What I did
Validate interface name length does not exceed the limitation of IFNAMSIZ to align to kernel restrictions.
This PR covers the cases of adding interface directly to the DB not using the cli - similar validation on the CLI side is implemented in a sonic-utilities PR.
Why I did it
Kernel restricts interface name length to not exceed IFNAMSIZ and this was not checked which can lead to inconsistency when creating such interface as it will be created in config db but it will be blocked when trying to actually create such interface.
How I verified it
Manual testing.
