**Tell us about your request**
I'd like to see an increase in character count for 'About' and 'Usage' sections from `10240` to `25000` (or higher!)

**Which service(s) is this request for?**
ECR Public

**Tell us about the problem you're trying to solve. What are you trying to do, and why is it hard?**
Our team is trying to keep GitHub ReadMes in sync with ECR Public Repo 'About' and 'Usage' sections; however, it is not possible to upload the entire ReadMe due to char limit being too low.

**Are you currently working around this issue?**
Yes, I have a PR out https://github.com/aws/amazon-ec2-metadata-mock/pull/117 to truncate the ReadMe based on char limits

**Additional context**
We also sync the ReadMes to DockerHub and have not run into any issues due to their char limit being set to 25000.

**Attachments**
If you think you might have additional information that you'd like to include via an attachment, please do - we'll take a look. (Remember to remove any personally-identifiable information.)

Research direction

Start by reviewing issue #1219 and the ECR Public About and Usage character-limit behavior; no repository file, test, or entry point is identified. Done means the limit increases from 10,240 to 25,000 or higher so the full README can sync without truncation.
