Title: doc: installation: add instructions to modify trace after the db is set up

I am not a ruby hack, so please feel free to correct me here:
As far as I know ruby does not support longtext as a datatype, or rather
Active Record does not support it. This means that we have to change the
Datatype after the database was created in order to prevent build outputs
being cut off after 2^16 bytes (text). This commit instructs the user to
change the trace column after it was created to longtext (2^32 bytes)
which works flawless for me.
