Auto suggestions

Tab-completions can be enabled with the suggestions and/or id option. If an id is provided, the value will be saved to the local storage using the id as local storage key. With suggestions you can provide some default suggestions. Both options can be defined at the same time. You can read more about auto suggestions here.

❕ The id option requires deno >= 1.10 and the --location flag. Since deno 1.16.0 the --location flag is optional.
