Increase service probes max line length

I created a PR on github to increase the probe line length, we created a
custom probe for our own purposes to detect quic based on a tcpdump packet,
but it's quite long so went over the line length, this, the PR increases
the line length and adds a nicer error if you hit the max:

https://github.com/nmap/nmap/pull/2803

Currently we are applying it as a patch in our build infra but would be
great to get it upstream.

Note:  this became an issue in 7.94 with the removal of the nmap-payloads
file which didn't have a max line length as it allowed breaking up payloads
over multiple lines.

If any changes to the PR are required just let me know.
