Description

Cloned from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1397056
Description of problem:
since string length restrictions no longer apply, satellite allows users to create entities of HUGE length. Such entities are not able to be manipulated later on (editing, deleting), due to the fact, that the names of the entities are being used as the GET parameter of the requests. Such requests return 414 (request URI too long).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
6.3 snap6

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. navigate to e.g. Host -> Architectures -> New architecture
2. generate a really huge string (e.g. 10000 chars) (might vary)
3. create a new architecture with generated string as a name.
4. navigate to architectures.
5. try to click (to edit) the new arch or try to delete it

Actual results:
414 - request uri too long

Expected results:
it either works (the id is used in URI instead of a name) or the size restriction should be reintroduced.
