[openlp-dev] Enable Max Height for non-text slides by default & default value

[Ian Knight]

Por que no los duos? (Why not have both?)

While I am tempted to get rid of the configuration option and just set a 
good default, and max ( itemlist height / 4, 120 px ) is a great 
suggestion because it addresses screen size, I think there several 
reasons one might want to configure it themselves; small screens may 
want more items visible (smaller than 120px ea) and likewise for large 
screens (>4 at a time), people with vision issues may want larger 
previews, and depending on usual size of slide contents, different 
minimum sizes can be necessary to correctly identify some slides 
(especially of they are mostly text).

Still, I think Mattias is on point as far as people wanting this option 
and ensuring we've set a good default.
