Shorten Email column to 254 characters
Using unique indexes on VARCHAR fields with a character count of more
than 255 produces an error in MySQL with InnoDB tables and UTF-8
encoding.
Also, as per https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_search.php?eid=1690, the
maximum length for email addresses is limited to 254 characters.
Fixes FS#47038.
