Description

Heya,

in some corner cases, I noticed my tweets weren't getting accepted by the server because they were too long, but bitlbee didn't reject them.

It seems this is related to ​https://dev.twitter.com/blog/upcoming-tco-changes

The attached patch changes the default for target_url_length from 20 to 23 (not sure if 22 or 23 would be more sensible there, your decision)

Ah yes, I did notice that too sometimes. Thanks for figuring it out. I went for 22, since there's a snippet of code that adds 1 for https URLs already.

That's some serious innovation at Twitter again. So sick of their crap.
