Add a new make target (completion) to generate the shell
completion scripts. This will generate the scripts for bash,
zsh and fish for both podman and podman-remote with `podman completion`.
The scripts are put into the completions directory and can be
installed system wide with `sudo make install.completions`.
This commit replaces the current handwritten scripts for bash and zsh.
The `validate.completion` target has been adjusted to make sure nobody
edits these scripts directly.

Allow automatic generation for shell completion scripts
with the internal cobra functions (requires v1.0.0+).
This should replace the handwritten completion scripts
and even adds support for fish. With this approach it is
less likley that completions and code are out of sync.
We can now create the scripts with
- podman completion bash
- podman completion zsh
- podman completion fish
To test the completion run:
source <(podman completion bash)
The same works for podman-remote and podman --remote and
it will complete your remote containers/images with
the correct endpoints values from --url/--connection.
The completion logic is written in go and provided by the
cobra library. The completion functions lives in
`cmd/podman/completion/completion.go`.
The unit test at cmd/podman/shell_completion_test.go checks
if each command and flag has an autocompletion function set.
This prevents that commands and flags have no shell completion set.
This commit does not replace the current autocompletion scripts.
Closes#6440
