Limit tribute autocomplete menu items to 100

Coung Ngo requested to merge cngo-limit-tribute-autocomplete-to-100 into master

What does this MR do?

We are in the process of migrating from atjs (deprecated and jQuery-based) to tribute for autocomplete under the feature flag tribute_autocomplete (defaulted to off).

When testing tribute autocomplete on gitlab.com, issue autocomplete renders tens of thousands of items in the autocomplete menu which freezes the UI for a couple of seconds. This is because tribute by default renders all list items. To improve performance, this MR adds a limit of 100 items, which is still more than the limit of 5 we currently have with atjs autocomplete.
