Shell: Tab completion for programs in PATH

This patch adds a function to LineEditor that takes the current shell
buffer, searches PATH for the first program that starts with that
buffer and then compares that to any other programs starting with the
buffer to remove any mismatching characters off the end. The result is
appended to the buffer.

This may be faster with a data structure but that seems overkill.
