Expected Behavior

Terraform should not limit people to a 140-character email body when AWS has no such limitation.

Actual Behavior

Terraform fails if I set verification_message_template.email_message_by_link to a string longer than 140 characters, because that limit is hardcoded in a validators.go function named validateCognitoUserPoolTemplateEmailMessageByLink

AWS has no problem with the email body if I use their API directly, and appears to support up to 20,000 UTF-8 characters

The fix for this has been merged into master and will be released with v1.14.0 of the AWS provider, likely by the end of the week.
