Expressions: protect against infinite loops

If the user accidentally creates an infinite loop while working in Expressions, After Effects freezes and needs to be force-closed, potentially losing progress on the file the user was working on.

AE should have infinite loop protection built in. Preferably w/ a customizable timeout, for how long to allow a long-running loop to keep going.
