Truncate length of description text added to lists

This is not optimal at this point as it might truncate word in between
which in the old schema full words were left because MITRE did not
provide the description in one long line and the updatelist was just
adding the first line.

This still is enough as the tracker will add full description for the
webpage and the truncated description was just to keep a "short
description" in the CVE list file itself.
