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.

## NAME
podman\-completion - Generate shell completion scripts
## SYNOPSIS
**podman completion** [*options*] *bash*|*zsh*|*fish*
## DESCRIPTION
The completion command allows you to generate shell completion scripts. Supported shells are **bash**, **zsh** and **fish**.
These script are used by the shell to provide suggestions and complete commands when you are typing the command and press [TAB].
Usually these scripts are automatically installed via the package manager.
## OPTIONS
#### **--file**, **-f**
Write the generated output to file.
#### **--no-desc**
Do not provide description in the completions.
## Installation
### 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.
### FISH
To load the completion script into your current session run:
`podman completion fish | source`
To make it available in all your fish sessions run:
`podman completion fish -f ~/.config/fish/completions/podman.fish`
