1. Remove shebang to bash completion file …

   Bash completion files are meant to be sourced, not executed, hence there
   should be no shebang at the beginning of the file.
   
   For reference, this is what Lintian (Debian tool to find errors in
   packages) says about it (see [1]):
   
     This file starts with the #! sequence that marks interpreted scripts,
     but it is a bash completion script that is merely intended to be
     sourced.
     .
     Please remove the line with hashbang, including any designated
     interpreter.
   
   On my Debian system, I looked at the other bash completions scripts, and
   indeed the utmost majority has no shebang:
   
     $ pwd
     /usr/share/bash-completion/completions
   
     $ ls -1 | wc -l
     1077
   
     $ grep '^#!' * | wc -l
     15
   
   Hence this commit removes the shebang, and in order to preserve
   indentation and highlighting in common code editors, it adds two hints:
   - an Emacs "file variable" on the first line ('-*- ... -*-'), see [2]
   - a Vim modeline on the last line ('ex: '), see [3]
   
   Once again, one can look at other bash completion files in
   /usr/share/bash-completion to see that these 2 hints are present in the
   majority of the files.
