Ability to change more settings in admin panel

[Cassolotl]

I'm asking for this because basically, as Mastodon gets more popular and continues to be hard to install, people are going to be paying other people to host their instance for them more and more - and for that you don't need much technical ability, you just do everything admin-ish through admin settings. Being able to customise things like the character limit through admin settings instead of having to ask your host to do it is going to become more and more important.

Inspired by this toot by a non-techy admin.

• This bug happens on a tagged release and not on master (If you're a user, don't worry about this).

My wife is the linked toot and she asked me to point out that she meant bios as well as toots

So as mentioned by @Gargron in #5697, configurable character limits are not a planned feature. Allowing more stuff to be configured from the graphical admin panel would be great tho, so I’m renaming this issue

Please either add a checklist for things you think are lacking in the admin settings, or open separate issues for each setting. As-is, I do not know what this issue is asking for (character limit is not planned to be configurable)
