change default escape timeout
This changes the default escape timeout for the default keybindings (emacs mode) to 300ms and the default for vi keybindings to 10ms. I couldn't resist fixing a few nits in the fish_vi_key_bindings.fish file since I was touching it to set the escape timeout.

+- `fish_escape_delay_ms` overrides the default timeout of 300ms (default key bindings) or 10ms (vi key bindings) after seeing an escape character before giving up on matching a key binding. See the documentation for the <a href='bind.html#special-case-escape'>bind</a> builtin command. This delay facilitates using escape as a meta key.
