repl: add completion preview
This improves the already existing preview functionality by also
checking for the input completion. In case there's only a single
completion, it will automatically be visible to the user in grey.
If colors are deactivated, it will be visible as comment.
This also changes some keys by automatically accepting the preview
by moving the cursor behind the current input end.
