Sharing debounce functionality between components (PR #350)

[praveenkumar98]

This ticket refers to the discussion in PR 350 on GitHub, where we explored reusing debounce functionality across components. The initial focus was to optimize the code by sharing debounce functions to prevent redundant code. However, after feedback, we’ve decided to address the issue with the current implementation and ensure that the solution aligns with the project's architecture.

Relevant discussion points:

• Complexity in reusing debounce functions across different parts of the project.
• Please focus on simplifying the current approach according to feedback from the maintainers.

Testing steps and expected behavior will follow the changes made in the PR.

Add debounce function to improve performance of @mentions remote filter

• Integrated debounce function to throttle the frequency of remoteFilter calls.
• Enhanced user experience by reducing the number of AJAX requests made during typing.
• Updated the remoteFilter callback in mentions.js to use debounce.
• Adjusted debounce delay to 300ms to balance responsiveness and performance.

This change aims to optimize the performance of the @mentions feature by minimizing unnecessary AJAX requests and improving overall responsiveness.

As last change about mentions.js was 3.0, it's not a 14.0 regression, so we'll have it fixed in 15.0.

I think this is good to put into 15. :)
