Bug Description

Our tempest test that sends extremely long metadata (>255 characters)
fails on the latest trunk,

test_create_server_metadata_exceeds_length_limit - Pass really long metadata while creating a server

The request json would contain metadata like so:

metadata = {'a': 'b' * 260}

This raises the expected error "413 OverLimit" on stable/essex but on trunk, it returns 400 BadRequest.

For this use case, the response error code should be consistent and be 413Overlimit.

    Fix Incorrect Exception when metadata is over 255 characters

    Need to be in sync with Essex. Throw a new exception in api.py when key or value
    is over 255 chars. Catch this exception end return back HTTP error 413.

    add extra lines in exception.py to make pep8 happy

    Fixes bug 1004007
