Message:

Set edit:maxwrapcols to 70 by default.

New BarnOwl users may not be aware that sending wide zephyrs will make
80-column terminal users annoyed.  Let’s enable 70-column wrapping by
default, regardless of the sender’s terminal size.  Users that know they
need to send longer lines can easily disable it.

Also, update the documentation for edit:maxwrapcols to suggest 70 instead
of 60 as the recommended maximum.
