fix: truncate "params" column on vertex_build table to prevent memory heap on database (#4118)

* ✨ (model.py): add new method `serialize_params` to serialize parameters data in VertexBuildBase class

* 🐛 (util_strings.py): fix truncation logic to correctly handle long strings by truncating them with ellipsis if they exceed the maximum length

* ✅ (test_truncate_long_strings.py): add unit tests for the truncate_long_strings function to ensure it works correctly with various input scenarios

* ✅ (test_truncate_long_strings_on_objects.py): update test assertion message to reflect the expected behavior of the function
