Bug description

If you don't have nexcloud maps installed, defining in nextcloud contact an Address (ADR) of more than 255 characters works fine.

However if you have nextcloud maps installed then defining in nextcloud contact an Address (ADR) of more than 255 characters is refused with an error "Unable to update contact", and in database logs you get:

2024-08-05 12:47:10.397 CEST [149340] ERROR:  value too long for type character varying(255)
2024-08-05 12:47:10.397 CEST [149340] STATEMENT:  INSERT INTO "oc_maps_address_geo" ("adr", "adr_norm", "object_uri", "lat", "lng", "looked_up") VALUES($1, $2, $3, $4, $5, $6)

Steps to reproduce

1. add a contact with an address field of more than 255 characters (with maps installed)
2. nextcloud reports an error and does not update the address field

Additional info

I discovered this while importing a VCF into nextcloud, it refused to import a few entries and the common cause was the length of the address field in vcard and having maps app installed on nextcloud
