CC Mode: Allow the insertion of long strings of letters in reasonable time

This fix allows M-: (insert (make-string 1000000 ?y)) to work fast when
inserted between C++ raw string delimiters after (setq long-line-threshold
nil).

* lisp/progmodes/cc-langs.el (c-symbol-key): Replace a "*" by "\\{,1000\\}" in
a regexp.
