Message:

Docs: Correct documentation for the_password_form hook.

This replaces an outdated note about the 20 characters limit on the password field in the WordPress database schema.

The post_password column was increased to 255 characters in WordPress 4.7.

Follow-up to [27676], [38590].

Props debarghyabanerjee, peterwilsoncc, dd32, mukesh27.
Fixes #61703.
