Prevent typing over-long topic names #1218

Description

@gnprice

Zulip has a maximum length for the name of a topic. (Historically 60 characters, and now a server setting that's typically still 60 characters; see #307.)

Currently we apply that maximum as a validator on the topic input, causing the send button to be disabled, and show an error message if you try to send.

It'd be better to instead apply the maximum sooner, when you're typing the topic itself, so that you can't type more than the limit. We heard this as beta feedback this week.
