Fixed #17870 -- Documented that EmailField default max_length of 75 does not comply with RFCs 3696/5321. Thanks Rotund for the report and the patch and Russell Keith-Magee for the review.

.. admonition:: Incompliance to RFCs
The default 75 character ``max_length`` is not capable of storing all
possible RFC3696/5321-compliant email addresses. In order to store all
possible valid email addresses, a ``max_length`` of 254 is required.
The default ``max_length`` of 75 exists for historical reasons. The
default has not been changed in order to maintain backwards
compatibility with existing uses of :class:`EmailField`.
