Description

If we have a particularly large parameter to the generic method, with more than 1024 characters, the agent segfault at the time of the resulting class definition ( see https://dev.cfengine.com/issues/7013 )

This can be a real issue, and we ought to have a way to circumvent this point (like reporting on the hash of the class parameter ?)

Two typical use case for that:

- long file name (long path):
- enforce a file content with a long value.

One more case for the future: is we want to have the possibility to give a list of packages in a generic method, we will most likelly have input longer than 1024 chars (see #6422 )
