[issue5256] rlcompleter adds builtins when custom dict is used

[Armandas]

New submission from Armandas <jarusauskas at gmail.com>:

When custom dictionary is used to create a completer, rlcompleter still
uses __builtins__.__dict__ to search for completions (rlcompleter.py,
global_matches()):

for nspace in [builtins.__dict__, self.namespace]:
...

This behaviour may sometimes be unwanted. It would be nice to have an
option, which when set would tell completer to only use provided dictionary.
