Make highlighting limits stricter

Patrick Bajao requested to merge 224506-reduce-highlight-limits into master

What does this MR do?

Currently, whenever we highlight text via Gitlab::Highlight as rich text, it takes a long time (~3s). It falls back to plain text highlighting after 3 seoncds due to the limit set via TIMEOUT_FOREGROUND.

We are reducing that to 1.5 seconds so we don't have to wait that long before falling back to plain highlighting.

We are also reducing MAXIMUM_TEXT_HIGHLIGHT_SIZE to 512 KB so we don't need to wait 1.5 seconds before falling back as well when highlighting a huge file.

No tests were updated since the constants were being stubbed in tests.

Does this MR meet the acceptance criteria?
