[phobos] Upping the number of bugzilla votes from 10 to 100

[Steve Schveighoffer]

All upping the votes does is allow me to vote for my top 100 bugs instead of top 
10. 


Every time I was about to exceed 9 votes (i.e. wanted to vote for a bug, but 
I've already voted for 9), there was inevitably a bug that I previously voted 
for that was closed.  So I haven't really even reached the 10 vote limit.  If 
you up to 100, you might as well make them unlimited.

The 10-vote system scales well with more users because each user gets 10 votes.  
I'd say leave it as is.
