max_len defaults to 60 in the server, and that only takes effect on the token
timestamps path. Until v1.8.3 token timestamps were limited to verbose_json, so
the default never reached other formats. #3679 removed that condition, which
left every response wrapped at 60 characters, on a token boundary rather than a
word one.
Resolve the default after the other parameters and enable it only for
verbose_json, or when max_len or split_on_word was asked for. Clients passing
max_len with any format still get wrapping.
