gh-133390: Extend completion for .commands in sqlite3

• Issue: Support completion for sqlite3 command-line interface #133390

[tanloong]

Only commands with a dot at the line beginning is considered dot commands. text is the non-whitespace chars under wherever the cursor is at. This means using text.startswith() enables dot command completion for not only actual dot commands but also any inline word that starts with dot:

sqlite> SELECT .<tab> .help .quit .version sqlite> SELECT . 

Using readline.get_line_buffer() instead is more reasonable. This returns the whole current line and can be used to avoid completion for dot-started inline word:

origline=readline.get_line_buffer() iforigline.startswith("."): ...

sqlite3 identifiers cannot start with . (OperationalError (SQLITE_ERROR): near ".": syntax error). Calling readline would complicate our imports a bit more, I'm not sure it is worth it. Not much changes, it is invalid just like it was before.

I actually also made a local change to add dot commands completion. This is the idea on my local branch, just sharing it for discussion:

1. Complete without dot if there is any number of whitespaces between the dot and the cursor.

sqlite> . | help version quit 

2. Complete with the dot if cursor is immediately at the right handside of the dot.

sqlite> .| .help .version .quit 

3. Complete nothing if there is any non-whitespace chars between the dot and the cursor (as we currently don't have dot commands that receive arguments).

sqlite> . help | # no candidates
