make kill/pkill completions more robust (#3200)

Someone running fish in an unusual locale reported that an `assert()` was
firing when they typed `pkill c`. I traced it to two bugs. First, the
__fish_make_completion_signals command was producing a weird result. Second,
the builtin `complete` command wasn't adequately verifying its arguments.

Fixes #3129
