MDL-30760 question engine: reduce summary max size

MySQL only accepts 65536 (aprox) bytes in default TEXT
columns. So we define the max allowed as 32000 to allow
99.9% of utf-8 contents to fit. If some day MDL-19603 is
implemented and all current TEXTs are moved (MySQL) to
the BIG counterparts, this restriction can be out (MDL-19603).
