Description
It would be nice to be able to change the length of the recent drafts content via a filter. The fixed value of 10 is too short for character count based users.

This PR introduces the dashboard_recent_drafts_word_length filter to the "Recent Drafts" dashboard widget.
Previously, the draft preview length was implicitly hardcoded to 10 words via the _x('10', 'draft_length') translation context. This severely limited content spacing. It also provided no intuitive way for theme/plugin developers to easily customize this layout.
The new filter behaves similarly to the standard excerpt_length filter, allowing developers to cleanly and safely adjust the draft preview length for their specific site's needs.
I dont't think a filter is necessary here. We could increase the default value to 20.
