bug#56682: Fix the long lines font locking related slowdowns

The alternative, of course, is to pay the price of syntax-ppss on larger spans and wait the corresponding amount of time the first time the user scrolls to EOB.


Or to speed up syntax-ppss in a way or another.


But as Gregory shows, when you get to _really_ large files (like 1 GB JSON file in his example), pressing M-> will still make you wait (I have to wait around 20 seconds).


Or when you have a slower CPU, with moderately large files.


But being able to choose this approach (in the absence of better upcoming alternatives) is a good thing.


The problem is (again) that what you would like does not provide any protection against modes which use widen inside their fontification routines.
