mw.widgets.visibleLengthLimit: Do not show countdown until last 99 characters

With the limit being recently increased to 500 characters users are
less likely to hit it, and so the distracting label is less useful,
and it might instead inspire users to fill in the longest possible
summary when it's not needed.
