Abolish Code List limits

[isangil]

per Eda's email: Can this be extended to unlimited in the definition of a variable of a codelist type?
"The Codes field supports a maximum of 100 options. Please reduce the number of options.

code - Starting point would be on the variable field, but pretty soon may find a dependency that came up with that performance triggered limit. Will need to hunt it.

100 code lists, we can make a language out of them.

This is not likely imposed by the field "variable" made by the module deims_variable, but somewhere upstream.

ok... line 36 of options_element.module

a comment in that line says that default limit for option is set to 100...

and you can change that in line 88 to whichever number.

Since there is no more elegant solution in sight, we'll leave it opened, until we put this in a FAQ or in the DEIMS book.
