Hi,

What is the max size for the payload in a inject node?

I have a JSON it say it is too large

```auto
PayloadTooLargeError: request entity too large
    at readStream (C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\node-red\node_modules\raw-body\index.js:156:17)

```

Hello .. according to the settings.js description ([source](https://github.com/node-red/node-red/blob/master/packages/node_modules/node-red/settings.js#L156)) the default max size of the json data is 5MB  
that can be changed by editing the `apiMaxLength` property
