AutocompleteInput should allow the specification of a suggestion size limit

[vascofg]

Currently when AutocompleteInput receives a large number of options it displays all of them. (see pic):

This behavior should be customizable by prop, something like

  <AutocompleteInput suggestionLimit={5} />

Marking this as a "good first issue" as the implementation should be straight forward, according to moroshko/react-autosuggest#132

Hey @fzaninotto , I want to take this up.

[mohinderps]

But I do have a question on getting started. Now I want to make changes in packages/ra-ui-materialui. After I make the change, I build it using the "build" script from package.json, which will put all the build files in the lib folder. Now how do I proceed from there onwards ?

[fzaninotto]

You do not need to build for development ; just run make run and you can test your changes against the simple example.

[mohinderps]

Okay, Got it!

[mohinderps]

With the current behaviour of AutocompleteInput, all of the suggestions are shown at once. And when the number of matches against the input turns 1, only the the suggestions are set to the corresponding suggestion. How will suggestion Limit work in this case ?

Hey @fzaninotto, I have added PR #2427 for this issue. Please check if the correct approach is followed to achieve the results. Will add tests then.
