symbols: Fall back to plain prefix search if regex search doesn't return within 1s #31297

Once prefix matches are optimized (see https://github.com/sourcegraph/sourcegraph/issues/31296), the symbols service could always fall back to that as a fast-path if regex search doesn't return within some timeout less than the 5s timeout from the frontend.

There'd need to be some communication with the UI when that fallback occurs which explains the different semantics.

Heads up @benvenker @lguychard - the "team/search-product" label was applied to this issue.

I'm not sure if this is still relevant / worth tracking? Maybe @sourcegraph/team-graph has opinions?
