t9902: protect test from stray build artifacts

When you have random build artifacts in your build directory, left
behind by running "make" while on another branch, the "git help -a"
command run by __git_list_all_commands in the completion script that
is being tested does not have a way to know that they are not part
of the subcommands this build will ship.  Such extra subcommands may
come from the user's $PATH.  They will interfere with the tests that
expect a certain prefix to uniquely expand to a known completion.

Instrument the completion script and give it a way for us to tell
what (subset of) subcommands we are going to ship.

Also add a test to "git --help <prefix><TAB>" expansion.  It needs
to show not just commands but some selected documentation pages.

Based on an idea by Jeff King.

# Be careful when updating this list:
#
# (1) The build tree may have build artifact from different branch, or
# the user's $PATH may have a random executable that may begin
# with "git-check" that are not part of the subcommands this build
# will ship, e.g. "check-ignore". The tests for completion for
# subcommand names tests how "check" is expanded; we limit the
# possible candidates to "checkout" and "check-attr" to make sure
# "check-attr", which is known by the filter function as a
# subcommand to be thrown out, while excluding other random files
# that happen to begin with "check" to avoid letting them get in
# the way.
#
# (2) A test makes sure that common subcommands are included in the
# completion for "git <TAB>", and a plumbing is excluded. "add",
# "filter-branch" and "ls-files" are listed for this.
