Fixes #1513
A simple fix which limits the time the ValaSymbolOutline spends on constructing the Sourcelist tree, which is the rate-limiting step (parsing is relatively fast).
Future PR's may improve the performance of tree construction (it is already in a separate thread) so that more symbols can be handled but the issue seems to be mainly with
.vapifiles which can contain many more symbols than most real world.valafiles.If the time taken exceeds a hard-coded number of msec (currently 1000) a warning is shown instead as shown below. Further information is given in the tooltip of the warning item.
