Text messages have a maximum length, which we tell the users. We
shouldn’t expect people to count the characters in the message
themselves.
This commit borrows [the word counter from the Digital Marketplace
frontend toolkit](9d17690de5/toolkit/javascripts/word-counter.js)
and adapts it to count characters instead.
Things I’m still not sure about with this:
- what should it say when the message goes over the length of one text
message
- what’s the interaction with placeholders, which will change the length
of the message
This commit also adds a line to the pricing page which explains that
service name counts towards the length of the message.
