Determine whether to add a subparser to completion by its presence in…

… _get_subactions()

This is the logic argparse uses for showing a subparser in the list of
options, so shtab now matches that behavior. This is particularly important
for subparsers which pass `add_help=False` in order to provide their *own*
help implementation.
