Until recently, the Zulip API specified a fixed maximum length for topics, of 60 characters. This changed a few months ago in zulip/zulip@e68a69e / zulip/zulip#25226 ; the maximum is now taken from the register-queue response, as max_topic_length.

(That value had actually existed in the register-queue response for a few years, but wasn't part of the documented behavior of the send-message endpoint.)

We currently have a constant kMaxTopicLength reflecting the old API. We should instead use max_topic_length.
