Increase assembly description character limit for AF Plugins

Currently when inserting an AF plugin via RegPlugin64.exe, there is a 1000 character hard limit for the AssemblyDescription parameter that the AF plugin has in its AssemblyInfo.cs class.

It has been found that some plugins have more than 1000 characters in their AssemblyDescription parameter, hence it would be beneficial to have the possibility of increasing this limit to work with these plugins.

    Do note that this also goes for support assemblies, which is where the real problem is: the description set by others stop you from uploading your own custom plugin. In my case these support assemblies are from Microsoft (System.) and I have to either try to avoid using them or possibly modify the metadata set on/in them (not sure if I'll get them to be loaded then even if I sign them myself).

    Another painful workaround is to distribute the missing assemblies out of band.
