CRM-21468: mailing recipients field limits how many groups can be selected

[monishdeb]

Overview

When creating a mailing, the mailing recipients group currently limits how many groups (or mailings) can be selected. It appears that the option in search preferences for "autocomplete results" is not only determining how many records appear in the search result dropdown at a time, but also limits how many options can be selected. It should not be doing that. We should also do a bit of investigation to see if that behavior is impacting other instances of the Select2 widget.

Before

Based on count set for "autocomplete results" say 2, you can select only two recipient groups in 'New Mailing' screen.

After

Irrespective of count set for "autocomplete results", you can choose any number of recipient groups.

Technical Details

Issue encountered due to changes made to getlist API where it took the default value for limit from search_autocomplete_count setting and this is point. As per the fix, we are overriding limit with 0/unlimited.

@monishdeb this looks good. we can now add more groups/mailings to a mailing than what is configured in the search results list config option. @colemanw can you review.
