git-gui: allow larger width for the commit message field
Users may like to make the main window very wide. In this case, a rather small size of the commit message field leaves a wide unused space at the bottom-right. Allow settting the field width to values much larger than 99 characters. In fact, users can set it to extreme values to fill the entire space regardless of window width: the widget geometry will be negotiated to be limited to the available space despite the large requested width.
