Bug description:
Having the shortname field in the database limited to only 25 characters makes it hard to import facilities (especially in combination with the other constraints of NOT NULL and UNIQUE (the latter should be removed, see https://bugs.launchpad.net/dhis2/+bug/370791).

If we do want to limit the lengths of shortnames users can enter, this should be an administrative setting.
