#1884: Cyrillic topic slugs are limited to ~33 characters on Rosetta forums

Background: #1298
This is essentially a WordPress core issue (#wp10483), but since it's a
regression on the forums after the upgrade to bbPress 2.x in #1544, maybe
we could tackle it on WP.org separately?
Currently, topic slugs on Rosetta forums are limited to ~33 characters,
and anything after that is just silently cut off.
For a language where most words are longer than in English, this is often
insufficient. English topic slugs, on the other hand, allow up to 80
characters (which is the `maxlength` attribute on the input).
Some examples of recent topics where the title is OK, but slug was cut
off:
* https://ru.wordpress.org/support/topic/как-настроить-уведомления-на-
email-о-получ
* https://ru.wordpress.org/support/topic/написание-плагина-скрытый-
контент-оп
* https://ru.wordpress.org/support/topic/загруженные-изображения-не-
привязыв
To get a feeling of what it looks like to a Russian speaker, imagine if
these (random) topics on English forums:
* https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-call-to-undefined-
function-add_shortcode_param
* https://wordpress.org/support/topic/new-post-gives-you-are-currently-
editing-the-page-that-shows-your-latest-posts
* https://wordpress.org/support/topic/i-cant-update-the-plugins-but-i-see-
they-need-to-be-updated
had slug like these:
* https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-call-to-undefined-fun/
* https://wordpress.org/support/topic/new-post-gives-you-are-currently/
* https://wordpress.org/support/topic/i-cant-update-the-plugins-but-i-s/
Doesn't look too informative, does it?
Previously, slugs were cut around ~48 characters, which is still is less
then enough, but better than ~33.
