  winrules arbitrarily limits window sizes to 4096 pixels

Bug description:
  The configuration schema for the "winrules" plugin sets an arbitrary
  maximum width and height for window sizes to 4096 pixels. This
  limitation was introduced in git commit
  3bf4bb10c34284d0a6dc1fd8e51c5991074d3c06 (circa 2010). With
  standardized display resolutions that exceed 4096 pixels, and the
  prevalence of multiple-display setups, this limit makes a lot less
  sense than it did in 2010. It's hard to pick a good value for a
  maximum here, as anything reasonable has the chance of very quickly
  becoming restrictive. We could just as well remove the maximum
  altogether and CCSM would be perfectly happy. I've chosen to use
  another arbitrary, but notably higher, limit in the attached patch.

  This issue was discovered while trying to use winrules to work around
  a window size bug in a game (Cities: Skylines) which was thoroughly
  convinced its window was the full 5760 pixels of my display setup, but
  had only managed to get a 1920x1080 window. Normally I would consider
  this sort of thing to be too frivolous to report, but I used to be
  much more active in Compiz development several years ago and was
  interested in seeing what the community looked like these days.
