Custom block types can be 64 characters long but the custom_block only supports 32 [#2220739]

Steps to reproduce:

Enable custom block module
Goto admin/structure/block/custom-blocks/types/add and create a type with a machine name longer than 32 characters
Goto block/add?destination=admin%2Fstructure%2Fblock%2Fcustom-blocks and click on the new type to add a custom block of that type
Complete Add block form
Get error Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityStorageException: SQLSTATE[22001]: String data, right truncated: 1406 Data too long for column 'type'

Limit custom block type name to 32 characters - it's enough.

The custom block type machine name will be limited to 32 characters instead of 64. The label will still be able to be as long as the user wishes

Enforce the limit of 32 characters in the API.

Note that #1709960: declare a maximum length for entity and bundle machine names does the opposite right now, it increases the size of the bundle column to 64, which is the limit that has been suggested there. This is fine with me as well, we just need to be doing the same.

Edit: Fixed wrong reference.

We are working towards a general entity bundle name length limitation in #1709960: declare a maximum length for entity and bundle machine names. Patch in #50 includes the ideas from this issue's #1, so this might be marked as duplicate.
