adjust mailNickname documentation to note the max length

maybe also set max length as a validation?

#11129 List of unallowed characters for the mailNickName is not complete
Hi,
The current description for the mailNickName states:
The mail alias for the group. Max. length: 64 characters. These characters cannot be used in the mailNickName: @()[]";:.,SPACE. Required.
I accidentally failed to create a Group by using the characters §^°, which are not listed in the description above.
Are you going to update the documentation?
Cheers,
Patrick

  and I think we had to define mailnickname even for non-emailable security groups

  if that’s true, could that limit be noted someplace?
