Add a `Description Guide Length` preference next to the existing subject guide length. The commit message editor now: - shows a `DESCRIPTION n/limit` counter (longest body line) with the same warning color and icon used for the subject - draws the vertical column guide at the configured length instead of a hardcoded 80 columns Since the working copy commit box, the reword editor in interactive rebase, the commit template editor and the standalone editor mode all share `CommitMessageToolBox`, the guide applies everywhere a message is written. The default stays at 80 so existing users see no change. Signed-off-by: Daniil Tatianin <99danilt@gmail.com>
