Request Title: Get full text of echo notifications

• Request Description: Echo notification system truncates long notifications at 150 characters. This means we can't show full notifications to users. Long notifications are shown truncated, reducing usefulness of the notification and reducing trust in the notifications overall.

We recognize there may be performance reasons to truncate notifications when making an API request that returns many notifications. While we could remove the character limit for the existing API, another solution would be to have a new simple API - send a request w/ notification revision ID, and (if user is properly authorized) return the entire body text of the notification.

• Indicate Priority Level: Medium
• Main Requestors: iOS team (this also improves Android app)
• Ideal Delivery Date: mid-April 2022
• Stakeholders: Wikipedia notification users that use the iOS or Android app (especially experienced editors)
