Increase max length on API URL field

I think that this might be best fixed with setting the #maxlength property on the existing textfield type.

Textareas come with the side-effect of allowing newline characters, which doesn't seem to be very helpful in this context. If this change can be re-rolled against 2.0.x, I'd be glad to re-review it and get the ball rolling.

Cheers.

Citing https://www.sistrix.com/ask-sistrix/technical-seo/site-structure/url-len..., I think we'd want to use the closest PoT (Power of Two) length to the minimum supported URL length in the list. This happens to be Microsoft Edge with a max supported length of 2083 characters.

The closest PoT is 2048 characters, so I propose that the #maxlength be 2048.

Merged !10 into 2.0.x to be included in a 2.0.1 patch release (timeline pending).

Thanks!

Adjusted title for accuracy.
