fix(autocomplete): stop loading if last promise got resolved

> Just investigated a bit, the problem is, the autocomplete will set the loading state to false if a previous promise is resolved. So when you search for A-R-I-Z-O-N-A (normally typed - not pasted) there will be a promise for each char. So the state of setLoading will change to false. This can be solved by adding a simple fetching queue. But only check the queue on the promise finally to store the retrieved results in cache.

Fixes #6907

Closes #6927
