Summary: rc_ip needs to be a 255 character varbinary

Or, at least, more than a 15-character varbinary. At the moment, there is a
hard 15-character limit on the contents of the rc_ip field in the recentchanges
table. This was fine when we were on IPv4, but IPv6 has a maximum length of 39
characters.
The result is IPv6 entries in the rc_ip field is currently being truncated,
making them of little use to anyone. While the field isn't used for anything on
production, it's a pretty common researcher/analyst resource.
Thankfully cu_changes.cuc_ip is a 255-char varbinary, and so the same problem
is not present there.
