Fixes #372

The column is now a text column and the field a textarea like the core form, the label is renamed since the help is no longer one line, and stored line breaks render on the contribution pages.

phpBB 3.3.5 extended a BBCode's help from a single line to a text column
with a textarea (PHPBB3-16804), but the database's submission form kept the
old shape: a single line input backed by a varchar(255). Help text longer
than 255 characters made the insert fail and showed an empty "User Error"
page with the revision not created.

Change the column to a text column and the field to a textarea like the
core form, rename the label now that the help is no longer one line, and
render stored line breaks on the contribution pages. Also wires up the
existing but unused REVISION_HELP_LINE_EXPLAIN language string.
