completion: add alias handling
Bash completion is now smarter about handling aliases. In particular, if all completions for some input command are aliased to the same thing, we'll just complete with that thing. If you've already *typed* the full alias for a command, we'll complete the alias. So, for example, here there's more than one real command involved, so all aliases are shown: ```console $ spack con concretise concretize config containerise containerize ``` Here, there are two possibilities: `concretise` and `concretize`, but both map to `concretize` so we just complete that: ```console $ spack conc concretize ``` And here, the user has already typed `concretis`, so we just go with it as there is only one option: ```console spack concretis concretise ```
