Add 'autocompletetimeout' and 'completetimeout' options

This affects both automatic completion ('autocomplete') and manual completion (i_CTRL-N, i_CTRL-P).

Addresses #17908

					*'autocompletetimeout'* *'act'*
'autocompletetimeout' 'act'	number	(default 80)
				            global
	Initial timeout (in milliseconds) for the decaying time-sliced
	completion algorithm.  Starts at this value, halves for each slower
	source until a minimum is reached.  All sources run, but slower ones
	are quickly de-prioritized.  The default is tuned so the popup menu
	opens within ~200ms even with multiple slow sources on a slow system.
	Changing this value is rarely needed.  Only values >80 are valid.
	Special case: when 'complete' contains "F" or "o" (function sources),
	a longer timeout is used, allowing up to ~1s for sources such as LSP
	servers that may sometimes take longer (e.g., while loading modules).
	See |ins-autocompletion|.

					*'completetimeout'* *'cto'*
'completetimeout' 'cto'	number	(default 0)
			            global
	Like 'autocompletetimeout', but applies to |i_CTRL-N| and |i_CTRL-P|
	completion.  Value of 0 disables the timeout; positive values allowed.

Add 'autocompletetimeout' and 'completetimeout' options

This affect both automatic completion ('autocomplete') and manual completion
(i_CTRL-N, i_CTRL-P).

@chrisbra Is there anything else that needs to be done for this?

sorry, too much going on here at work and with my family, so I haven't had a chance to re-look at it. I suppose the change to diff.pro is unrelated, so I'll drop it. Thanks

Unfortunately, it seems that the changes in diff.pro are included in the patch 9.1.1672 as is.
