Describe the bug

The auto-generated Name for a CloudFront ResponseHeadersPolicy can be longer than the (unpublished) maximum of 129 characters. These very long stack names are common when using CDK Pipelines.

Expected Behavior

I expected CDK to truncate the auto-generated name to be shorter than the maximum allowed policy name.

Current Behavior

When the name field is too long, it produces this very opaque error message:

1:43:29 PM | CREATE_FAILED        | AWS::CloudFront::ResponseHeadersPolicy | ResponseHeadersPolicy
Resource handler returned message: "Invalid request provided: AWS::CloudFront::ResponseHeadersPolicy"
(RequestToken: d86fa560-67f9-db71-29af-402e0fdee080, HandlerErrorCode: InvalidRequest)

I was able to determine the Name field was too long by trying to create a policy in via the UI with the same name. The UI gave me back a much better error message:

The parameter Name is too big.

Possible Solution

There are lots of examples scattered throughout the code where a name is restricted in length, e.g.:

The character limit isn't defined explicitly in the CFN docs or in the API docs:

Name -> (string)
  A name to identify the response headers policy.

  The  name  must  be unique for response headers policies in this
  Amazon Web Services account.

From trial and error in the console, it appears the limit is 129 characters.
