The patch condenses the results of the discussion of last week,
as resuscitated by Dmitry after a 2-year long hiatus.

After some rounds of benchmarking and discussion, Dmitry and I
think the latest version of the patch should be installed.

If you've not been following closely, the variables the patch
introduces have docstrings explaining the functionality added, as
do the commit messages to feature/completion-lazy-hilit.

In a nutshell it solves the performance problem of overly eager
completion highlighting with minimal changes to the completion API.
The original patch proposed by Daniel Mendler was also partly about
solving this problem, but with much more extensive changes.

NEWS entries -- and possibly manual entries -- are also needed, not
done yet.

João
