PATCH: new (old) pip completion

[Oliver Kiddle <opk@xxxxxxx>]

A pip completion was posted in workers/34928 back in 2015 by Daniel
Hahler but was never applied. I contacted him and he sent me his most
recent version of it and this is based on that. Pypi's XML-RPC interface
appears to be dead so I ripped that out entirely. For completing
available packages, there is a pip package named pip-cache that appears
to have been created with the bash completion in mind and using it is
very easy. Other methods could potentially be added, e.g. if they fix
pip search.
