Allow a bigger range for the gantt timeline

Description

Currently the gantt chart can only display up to 24 months. Every bigger value is ignored and sets the chart back to 6 months.
There is no obvious reason for this constraint, so the possible range should be extended to more than 24 months (maybe 48 or a configurable value).

The limitation is set in this file and line: source:trunk/lib/redmine/helpers/gantt.rb#L65

You can set this value (the second one in the if) to a higher value, for example 49 to define 4 years on a gantt.

Maybe this could be set per option, but this would be a workaround for you to get started.

after i modified the line and restarted apache2, it still wouldn't work at all.

i thought there is some problem with the cache, but i've cleared it. left the problem unsolved.

Thank you for the patch.

We should consider the behavior when Setting.gantt_months_limit is less than 6.

Assume that Setting.gantt_months_limit is 0. You will see a chart with 6 months long. But you cannot enter the value between 1 and 6 to input#months. In other words, you see 6 months chart but you cannot make the gantt shorter, for example, 5 months. I think the behavior is strange.

Maybe it is better to have a lower limit of Setting.gantt_months_limit. In my opinion, gantt should behave as if Setting.gantt_months_limit is 6 when Setting.gantt_months_limit is less than 6.

I think the lower limit should be 6.

Thank you for pointing out.
If Setting.gantt_months_limit is less than 6, gantt has rebuilt the patch to behave as if Setting.gantt_months_limit is 6.

We should move [6, Setting.gantt_months_limit.to_i].max to a method in order to avoid duplicating the logic in two places (view and lib).

I think it is a bit overkill to add a method somewhere. Since the problem I pointed out in #14654#note-8 is really small, I think it is OK to apply the first patch (14654.patch). Marius, what do you think about this approach?

No problem for me.
