Paul Holzinger ae3816614d Install the new shell completion logic
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.

BASH

Make sure you have bash-completion installed on your system.

To load the completion script into your current session run: source <(podman completion bash)

To make it available in all your bash sessions run: podman completion bash -f /etc/bash_completion.d/podman

ZSH

If shell completion is not already enabled in your environment you will need to enable it. You can execute the following once: echo "autoload -U compinit; compinit" >> ~/.zshrc

To make it available in all your zsh sessions run: podman completion zsh -f "${fpath[1]}/_podman"

Once you reload the shell the autocompletion should be working.
