Change max. image dimensions to 1920x1080px (1080p)

Somebody e-mailed me and made a good point, the dimensions limit has been the same for years while larger monitors have become the norm, so a small adjustment upwards may be warranted.

this size limit is not exposed in API. how the clients detect it ?

This isn't the matrix limit (I believe it's something like 4000x4000px right now) which prevents clients from uploading. This is the target dimensions that original files get resized to if they are larger. So, the client does not need to know. (Unless the client wants to minimize bandwidth usage and server-side work, like the web UI does, but it's not a requirement)

WebUI does it and client can't do it because API does not API expose the limit.
What is the reason for restricting clients from doing optimal things without disclosing important information?

also, mobile device camera image size often greater than 4096.
image resizing capacities in mobile client is almost mandatory in fact.
