Use `spack commands --format=bash` to generate shell completion (#14393)
This PR adds a `--format=bash` option to `spack commands` to
auto-generate the Bash programmable tab completion script. It can be
extended to work for other shells.
Progress:
- [x] Fix bug in superclass initialization in `ArgparseWriter`
- [x] Refactor `ArgparseWriter` (see below)
- [x] Ensure that output of old `--format` options remains the same
- [x] Add `ArgparseCompletionWriter` and `BashCompletionWriter`
- [x] Add `--aliases` option to add command aliases
- [x] Standardize positional argument names
- [x] Tests for `spack commands --format=bash` coverage
- [x] Tests to make sure `spack-completion.bash` stays up-to-date
- [x] Tests for `spack-completion.bash` coverage
- [x] Speed up `spack-completion.bash` by caching subroutine calls
This PR also necessitates a significant refactoring of
`ArgparseWriter`. Previously, `ArgparseWriter` was mostly a single
`_write` method which handled everything from extracting the information
we care about from the parser to formatting the output. Now, `_write`
only handles recursion, while the information extraction is split into a
separate `parse` method, and the formatting is handled by `format`. This
allows subclasses to completely redefine how the format will appear
without overriding all of `_write`.
