Remove unenforced size limit on room names (#3669)

Fixes #3641 The spec says the name field in m.room.name events must not exceed 255 bytes but no servers actually enforce this over the C-S API. Clients should probably already be truncating room names to an appropriate length for their user interface. Signed-off-by: Aaron Raimist <aaron@raim.ist>
