API doc dns record name field limits don't match limits listed in other dns record documentation #26665

Description

@kimallen

Existing documentation URL(s)

https://developers.cloudflare.com/api/resources/dns/subresources/records/models/a_record/#(schema)
and
https://developers.cloudflare.com/dns/manage-dns-records/reference/dns-record-types/

What changes are you suggesting?

The maxlength for the name field for an A record is listed as 255 in the api docs, but in other documentation it says the name field should be 63 characters or less, and lists other parameters.

I did not test what the actual limits enforced by the api are, but the api docs should reflect the limits in the DNS record types documentation, and the api itself should enforce those limits.
