Bug Description

If you try to create a semester with the "semester" name longer than 1 character, you get a nasty server error:
DataError: value too long for type character(1)

The University of Melbourne is moving to 3-letter semester codes.

Change the database to allow any length strings as a semester name (TEXT). Change year from CHAR(4) to TEXT as well, for good measure.
