don't constantly check for reposts when it's obvious there can't be one

we currently spam the /is_repost api on every single character change in the URL box even though there is no way these URLs would ever be submitted to the site

introducing a frankly conservative limit to where we start actually pinging both the api and (on the backend) the database for reposts may help in some cases

the current constant was chosen by taking the length of "http://" and adding 2 to it
