patch 8.0.0643: when a pattern search is slow Vim becomes unusable

Problem:    When 'hlsearch' is set and matching with the last search pattern
            is very slow, Vim becomes unusable.  Cannot quit search by
            pressing CTRL-C.
Solution:   When the search times out set a flag and don't try again.  Check
            for timeout and CTRL-C in NFA loop that adds states.
