Stop truncating ICQ passwords to 8 characters like old ICQ clients did
Fixes #16692
I know we've said that we should fix this "the right way" to ensure that
hypothetical users who rely on password truncation don't get login errors.
But no one is writing that patch, and the real users who want passwords longer
than 8 chars are more important.
If someone actually relies on password truncation, they can easily press
backspace a few times.
