Install bash completion under bash_completion.d/

[jbnicolai]

If possible, it would be nice if npm install -g gulp would symlink completion/bash to /etc/bash_completion.d/ or /usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d/.

In this case, if the user has bash-completion installed and either of these directories was present the completion will 'just work', rather than requiring the step outlined in completion/README.md.

I know homebrew does the same, linking the completion to $(brew --prefix)/etc/bash_completion.d/, but there might be a better cross-platform and package manager way to do this.

👍 For ZSH it's /usr/share/zsh/site-functions

Cool, let me get started on a module specifically for linking completion files :)

cc @tkellen would you be interested in having these features in liftoff? autocompletion seems like a standard CLI thing most would want

[tkellen]

I'd totally add that if they could be installed automatically via the module @jbnicolai is thinking of building. @jbnicolai will you let me know when it is ready?

[jbnicolai]

@tkellen absolutely :-)

@tkellen Up and running, called shell-completion and there's a pull request to include it in gulp over here.

Note that it's an early version, and I would appreciate any and all feedback!
