Stripe: prevent payments using stripe recurring if subscription is not within stripes recurring period limits
Description
Stripe has the following period limits for subscriptions.
1 year, 12 months, 52 week, or 365 days
If a plan goes over these then it will error. Implement support for instead creating a subscription schedule breaking up the duration so the plan can still be subscribed to. Implement suppressing Stripe as a payment method if it can't possibly be paid using Stripe to prevent accepting payment for a subscription that can't be completed. Completely suppress the button rendering and add fail safe redirect for payment form page as well.

There's no real workaround for this. Attempting to use subscription schedules would be more of a hack than anything and risks things going wrong. Schedules are already being used for different price/period durations and adding another layer of schedules onto that would cause odd webhook behavior.
Maybe best to suppress allowing usage of Stripe at time of basket if the durations aren't permitted.

Implemented in MR !317
There's no real viable workaround for Stripe recurring period limits. Instead we'll now suppress Stripe recurring payments button if the period limit isn't valid. It will always prevent access to the payment form if the period limit is invalid. This will prevent CBSubs from trying to collect payment for a payment that can't possibly complete. Admins should be mindful of gateway limitations when configuring recurring payments!
