#2557: regression: changes with long comments break the p4 poller against mysql

 we use mysql, and perforce, and while working to upgrade discovered that
 if a developer put in a change comment longer than 1k, the poller would
 throw while attempting to add the change to the database and effectively
 get stuck on that change (never moving past it).

 I've added a config option that warns (in the log) that truncation of the
 string will occur, but allows mysql to truncate the data to fit in the
 column.

 I've worked around this by adding a config option to warn (rather than
 throw) in this scenario, it's not the only way to solve the problem, but
 I'm attaching it for reference.
