InsertJsonValues can be too long if there are many vsman to insert. If this happens, AzDO has a variable limitation of ~32k characters for the variable. This adds a check to use the newly introduced InsertJsonValuesFile where the InsertJsonValues is written to a file and then processed by InsertVSPayload.

Rather than special case InsertJsonValues in this script (which should be general purpose), I think converting the value to a .txt file should be done at insertion time where it has to deal with this variable specifically.

So you're saying that the check (and converting it to a text file) should be in _define.ps1 ?

| } else { | ||
| Write-Error "The script $($_.BaseName).ps1 is too long (> 32k characters). Skipping setting the environment variable." |

I think this should be a warning rather than an error.

When the changes I've requested are applied, I think this PR should target the main branch, and a separate PR should that targets microbuild should edit the insertion pipeline to handle the long variable value specially.
