[SYNPY-1794] Modified EntityView creation of strings and list cols

[andrewelamb]

Problem:

When creating an EntityView for file-based validation, the max size was being set for string and list-string columns. Users were running into these limits. In addition, a use-case for finding the type of a column when the type was an array of possible types wasn't being accounted for:

"type": ["string", "null"]

Solution:

When creating the columns for the EntityView:

• If the type is a string, or can't be determined, the Synapse type is set as MEDIUMTEXT
• If the type is an array of types (["string", "null"]) and there is only one non null type, that type is used, otherwise the Synapse type is set as MEDIUMTEXT
• The maximum_size parameter is no longer used

Testing:

Unit tests for new and changed functions extended

Do some of the jsonschema examples need to be updated in the test directory?

I don't think so, we're still expecting the same inputs to this.

🔥 LGTM! From a product perspective, I ran this code

entity_view_id, task_id = create_file_based_metadata_task(
    synapse_client=syn,
    folder_id="syn74212632",          # Folder containing your data files
    curation_task_name="test different defaults", # Must be unique within the project
    instructions="Annotate each file with metadata according to the schema requirements.",
    attach_wiki=False,                 # Creates a wiki in the folder with the entity view (Defaults to False)
    entity_view_name="Animal Study Files View",
    schema_uri="HTAN2Organization-BulkWESLevel1-1.3.0",             # Schema found in Step 2
)
print(f"Created EntityView: {entity_view_id}")
print(f"Created CurationTask: {task_id}")

And here's the schema

I'll defer to @linglp for final review

@andrewelamb should the tests be re-run? May want to pull from upstream as tests have been fixed in develop (i think)

LGTM! Just a minor comment.
