Make it configurable after how many chars suggestions are provided

Suggestions for reviewers, accounts, account groups and projects are
provided to the user as soon as he starts typing. On systems with many
accounts, account groups and projects providing suggestions may be
expensive, especially for short query strings. Suggestions for very
short query strings are often not very useful for the user because the
list of suggestions is too big. Normally useful suggestions are only
provided if the user has typed a certain number of character that is
sufficient to limit the suggestions to a reasonable set. In this case
it makes sense to show suggestions only if the user has typed a least
a certain number of characters. Allow administrators to configure after
how many typed characters suggestions should be provided. By default
suggestions will always be provided.
