Subject: [PATCH] [JENKINS-31209] Stop limiting build description in build
 history to 100 symbols (#4209)

This limit:
1. Isn't justified by anything
2. Cannot be configured by users
3. Doesn't properly interact with nontrivial HTML markup. For example, it sums text in <option> elements
   even though they do not actually take up more visual space on page and instead only longest <option> matters
