Inspecting large objects may take a long time since IRB colors the entire output of #inspect all at once. This patch lets IRB to give up coloring after a certain time and fall back to non-colored output. Changes can be observed by inspecting large Arrays, for example `[1] * 1000000`. The default timeout is 2 seconds, but this can be configured through `IRB.conf[:INSPECT_COLORING_TIMEOUT]`. Passing nil to this option will disable timeouts (IRB will never fall back to non-colored output).
