zsh completions for commands that have multiple Vec arguments require
special care.
We can have two Vec args separated with a value terminator.
We can also have two Vec args with no value terminators specified
where the final arg uses 'raw' and thus requires '--' to be used.
The 2nd of these scenarios requires special handling to avoid
emitting a duplicate '*:arguments' completion entry.
Currently, the zsh completions generate an error in this scenario:
$ my-app <TAB>
_arguments:...: doubled rest argument definition:
*::second -- second set of of multi-length arguments:
We already use the '-S' option when calling _arguments.
This option makes it so that completion stops after '--' is encountered.
This means that the handling for trailing 'raw' arguments does not need
to specified.
Special-case multi-valued arguments so that we can skip emitting
the final multi-valued argument if a previous multi-valued argument
has already been emitted.

Emit the user-defined value terminator into the zsh completion pattern
to avoid doubled rest-arguments definitions:
$ my-app <TAB>
_arguments:comparguments:325: doubled rest argument definition:
*::second -- second set of of multi-length arguments:

noted that including the value terminator is one step towards a
robust solution for handling multiple multi-valued arguments.
This change does not yet handle automatically detecting when a value
terminator is needed, but it does add tests to ensure that
user-specified value terminators are used on zsh.

This is an intermediate solution for #4408. As there were no agreeed
upon goals, I went with what I felt read well and that I saw commonly
used on non-clap commands.
- "information" isn't really a necessary word.
- I originally favored `Print this help` but realied that doesn't read
correctly in completions.
- Besides being shorter, the reason for the flipped short/long hint is
it gives people the context they need for scanning, emphasizing
"summary" and "more".
Fixes#4409
With the previous fixes for #4273 and #4280 in place, it's now easy to
add support for subcommand aliases, which this commit does. This
addresses #4265 for Bash.
This continues the work started with the fix for #4273. There was
another bug caused by using the subcommand names without considering
their position in the argument list. If the user enters `git diff log
<TAB>`, we build up a string that identifies the subcommand. We ended
up making the string `git__diff__log` in this case because we appended
`__log` without considering the current state. Since `git__diff__log`
does not correspond to an actual command, we wouldn't provide any
suggestions.
This commit restructures the code so we walk subcommands and
subsubcommands in `bash.rs`. While walking those, we build up a list
containing triples of the parent `$cmd` name (e.g. `git__diff`), the
current command's name (e.g. `log`), and the `$cmd` for the current
command. We then build the shell script's case arms based on that
information.
We could instead have fixed#4280 by using the second element in the
pair returned from `utils::all_subcommands()` (a stringified list of
the subcommand path) instead of the first one. However, that would not
have helped us solve #4265.
Closes#4280
Early in the Bash-completion script, we build up a string that
identifies the command or subcommand. When we see the top-level
command's name (e.g. `git`) we set the command so far to that
value. We do that regardless of where in the argument list it
appears. For example, if the argument list is `git diff git`, we set
the current command to `git` when run into it the second time. We
therefore suggest arguments to the top-level command afterwards, which
is not correct.
This patch fixes that by also considering the string that identifies
the command so far, so we only set the overall command to `git` if the
command so far is the empty string.
This is actually just a step on the way to getting completion to work
for aliases of subcommands.
Closes#4273
There seems to be little reason to return early with an empty list
when there are no subcommands, instead of going through the loop 0
times and then returning the empty list.
