Repository select box won't load when the connection have a large quantity of repos

Bug Report

Describe the bug

The repository select box won't load the repositories of my Github connection.

To Reproduce

1. Add the task github-tools-vsts release task to the build/release
2. Select a Github Connection with access to large number of repos ( >2000)
3. Click on the Repository select box
4. See that the repositories on select box won't load as it get's stuck in "loading..."
5. After some time it fails, and the box stays blue and resets to the normal state, without any repository.

Screenshots below.

Expected behavior Load all the repositories in the selection box or, if possible, let me write the repository name if the search fails. I don't know if this is a VSTS issue with the select box or the extension actually fails when trying to get a large quantity of repositories. I think is the former because the VSTS also have problems to get all the repos when creating a build definition, as it takes a while in there too, but in the build definition I'm allowed to write the repository name, which speeds things up.

Enviroment

• Service: VSTS
• Agent: Not relevant
• OS: Not relevant
• Node/npm version: Not Relevant

Additional context/Screenshots Using a connection with > 2000 repositories:

Hey @douglasquintanilha, Just released a new option to manually set repository instead of using pick list.

Would love to hear your feedback about it!
