That seems a rather terrifying customization given that the current
value of `temp-buffer-max-height' is:
(lambda
(buffer)
(if
(and
(display-graphic-p)
(eq
(selected-window)
(frame-root-window)))
(/
(x-display-pixel-height)
(frame-char-height)
2)
(/
(-
(frame-height)
2)
2)))

This also doesn't seem a trivial customization; it involves alists of
alists, cons cells, regular expressions, functions.
This seems to be rather a lot to ask of the user just so they can get
back the Emacs 24 behaviour.
Instead, I was thinking more along the lines of a simple Boolean
variable called something like completions-window-prefer-split-right
with a default value of non-`nil' to give the old behaviour, and `nil'
would give the behaviour we're currently seeing in Emacs 25.
