Replace private bash-completion functions (`_comp__split_longopt`, `_get_cword`) with the stable public `_init_completion` API. The private functions were renamed in bash-completion 2.12, breaking tab completion on systems with either the old or new version. `_init_completion` has been stable since bash-completion 2.0 and works across all versions. Resolves: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-145121
