Make request_spec.spec MediumText

request_spec.instance_group.members is a list of instance UUIDs. It
can get so long that it overflows its TEXT column. This patch changes
request_spec.spec to MEDIUMTEXT.

NOTE(artom): Conflicts in
nova/tests/functional/db/api/test_migrations.py because of backport
migration renumbering.

NOTE(mriedem): Since this is a backport, this contains a release
note not found in the original change on master.

Change-Id: I6bf0fa19b72887803e77b66698587c2108c9372a
Closes-bug: 1738094
