Increase the maximum width of text line images after preprocessing, to reduce the amount by which long input lines are squashed horizontally. This reduces the frequency of letters being dropped or misinterpreted when processing long lines.
The downside is that the time taken to recognize lines is proportional to their width after preprocessing, so this significantly (eg. 2x) increases recognition time for long lines.
Using the test image in this commit, taken from a screenshot of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_bear:
Before:
Processing time ~850ms.
After:
Processing time ~1500ms.
