Title: Increased description size to 1000 characters

The default maximum description in Delicious was raised to 1000
characters instead of 255 several years ago. The current setting in
Scuttle makes it impossible for users to import data from their
Delicious account into Scuttle.

When the limit is increased, the old text-box becomes rather too
small. This increases it (in line with what Delicious did when they
made the change).

In this patch, tables.sql is updated, but existing installations will
need to alter their database table my hand. In the absence of a system
for migrations, this seems to be able the best we can do.

That said, this patch should not break directly. It will allow people
to submit longer items which will then be rejected (or just cropped to
255 characters, I suppose) by MySQL. As a result, this patch, if
accepted, would need to be moved into the release notes.
