Truncate error messages for failed Group Import

What does this MR do?

Fixes https://sentry.gitlab.net/gitlab/gitlabcom/issues/2399934/?referrer=gitlab_plugin

During Group Import each error is captured in @shared.errors. If there are a lot of errors and all of them exceed 255 characters a new PG::CheckViolation is raised since we have a constraint on db level that last_error field in group_import_states table can't exceed 255 characters.

Because of this exception Group Import is never marked as failed and is 'stuck' in 'in progress' state. This change truncates the error message down to 255 to ensure it can't get stuck.
