Start autocomplete search after n chars entered

See original GitHub issue

The autocomplete should only start sending requests once there’s more than n characters because the results for a single char aren’t that useful.

In the past typical values for n would be 2-3 chars - it’ll make sense to make this configurable so it’s easily tweaked. Let’s start with 2 chars and go from there.

The autocomplete is initiated when the third char is typed. This issue is verified on AMO dev with FF59 (Win10).
