Steps to reproduce:

1. Set maxLength of a TextView to 3;
2. Set text of the TextView in ( xml or from code behind ) larger than 3.
   The result is that the text is not limited and remains longer that 3 symbols.
   Example to reproduce the issue: https://github.com/NativeScript/NativeScript/blob/master/apps/app/ui-tests-app/text-field/max-length.xml
   and
   https://github.com/NativeScript/NativeScript/blob/master/apps/app/ui-tests-app/text-field/max-length.ts

Please have in mind that this behaviour could be reproduced only with code which should be initiated by a developer.
