WebKit's new adoption agency algorithm implementation limits the inner and outer loop to 10 iterations per loop entry.

We should probably have limits there, too, and lacking data on what the best limits would be, it makes sense to use the same arbitrary limits as WebKit.

Limit the loops to 10 iterations per loop entry

rs=me, but we need to keep pushing for the ability to align with spec here.

Nominating as a blocker, since not fixing this exposes a DoS vector for making the parser do an amount of work that is disproportionate to the amount of input text.
