 Default user_url field length in wp_users table should be increased.

 Use case: LinkedIn user profile urls may contain non-ascii user names in
 utf-8 where each non-ascii character will take at least 6 bytes url-
 encoded.

 Example: cyrillic small letter 'а' becomes %D0%B0.

 Current length is 100 so the url may not contain more than 15 non-ascii
 characters which is a serious restriction.

 Suggested new length: 200.
