Add max-completions parameter, and implement tab-completion limiting.

This commit adds a new exception, MAX_COMPLETIONS_REACHED_ERROR, to be
thrown whenever the completer has generated too many candidates to
be useful.  A new user-settable variable, "max_completions", is added
to control this behaviour.  A top-level completion limit is added to
complete_line_internal, as the final check to ensure the user never
sees too many completions.  An additional limit is added to
default_make_symbol_completion_list_break_on, to halt time-consuming
symbol table expansions.
