closed414 failure when cloning job with very long job setting values
Description
Hi,
I've notices a 414 error when cloning job https://openqa.suse.de/tests/5689774 to my own instance:
$ openqa-clone-job --show-progress --host duck-norris.qam.suse.de https://openqa.suse.de/tests/5689774

Cloning a similar job like https://openqa.suse.de/tests/5689081 works just fine.
A hypothesis for the failure is that when using openqa-clone-job, the settings get parameterized within the request URL, which in turn becomes too long.
The cloned job https://openqa.suse.de/tests/5689774 contains a lot of long settings.
Reproducer¶
openqa-clone-job --skip-download --skip-chained-deps --host openqa.suse.de https://openqa.suse.de/tests/5689774

Indeed, the parameters are appended to the URL, although we make a POST request.
I was able to fix it by adding a form parameter to the post request instead.
Currently running tests.

Sounds like an easy enough fix. Great news! @tinita if you are hitting bigger problems then please let's rediscuss priorities.

Sorry, I was too slow with assigning to the ticket as I was just reading the chat. So https://github.com/os-autoinst/openQA/pull/3803 is already there and I can confirm that it works.
