Remove `maxlength` limit from the project description textarea

Eduardo Sanz García requested to merge allow-long-project-description into master

What does this MR do and why?

In the General Settings page one can add an optional project description. Previously, this textarea field was set to a maximum of 250 characters. In this commit we have remove that limit.

There is an actual limit of 2000 imposed by the backend. If one tries to save a project description longer than 2000 characters a warning will appear after clicking Save changes.

Screenshots or screen recordings

It is possible to type more than 2000 characters in the project description text area:

However, a warning will appear trying to save a project description if it is longer than 2000 characters:
