Summary: add readline completion to cmd.Cmd

Initial Comment:
Adds command completion to Cmd class.  Can be disabled
by calling __init__ with completekey=None or can use a
different key, it defaults to 'tab'.

Not sure if this is really the best way to
enable/disable it, but it works. (oh, prolly requires
doc updates too)

Would also be nifty to provide command-specific
completion with something like
complete_<commandname>(...) funcs, but this is not
possible with python's current readline interface. (doh)

Ok, heres a new patch that implements command specific
completion as well.  It is diffed against a clean cmd.py,
not the previous patch.

I also have a patch against pstats.py to make its
interactive mode take advantage of this, should I submit it
in a seperate report?

Hm, actually I just looked into the readline module a bit
deeper and it looks like it is possible after, all I was
going only on what was passed to the complete func but with
the get_line_buffer and friends it should be possible.. so,
I'll see if I can work up a patch that includes command
specific completion.
