[fix] autocompleter: suggestions contain HTML escape codes

The results were previously HTML-escaped for some reason.
That doesn't really make much sense because they never got
unescaped anywhere.

For example, `A&B` gets escaped to `A&B` and never unescaped,
so the autocompletion frontend shows `A&B`, which isn't user-friendly
at all.

Also, it doesn't make sense to escape the full JSON instead
of only escaping the suggestion texts individually because that
makes it even more unclear.
