Fixes#1816
Previously, arguments with a dash as the second character (e.g., 1-ff00:0:1)
were detected as a flag by mistake. This resulted in auto completion misbehaving
if such an argument was last in the argument list during invocation.
When the command searches args to find the arg matching a
particular subcommand name, it needs to ignore flag values,
as it is possible that the value for a flag might match
the name of the sub command.
This change improves argsMinusFirstX() to ignore flag values
when it searches for the X to exclude from the result.
Fixes#1831
By moving the check for help group existence to "ExecuteC()" we no
longer need groups to be added before AddCommand() is called. This
provides more flexibility to developers and works better with the use
of "init()" for command creation.

Fixes#1786
The --help, -h, --version and -v flags are normally added when the
`execute()` function is called on a command. When doing completion
we don't call `execute()` so we need to add these flags explicitly to
the command being completed.
Also, we disable all further completions if the 'help' or 'version'
flags are present on the command-line.

This method is the OnInitialize counterpart. Like OnInitialize which allows
loading the configuration before each command is executed, OnFinalize allows
saving the configuration after each command has been executed.
Add a global `EnableCaseInsensitive` variable to allow
case-insensitive command names.
The variable supports commands names and aliases globally.
Resolves#1382
This fixes a bug where a child flag that shadows (has the same
name as) a parent persistent flag would not be shown in the
child command's help output and the parent flag would be shown
instead under the global flags section.
This change makes the help output consistent with the
observed behavior during execution, where the child flag is
the one that is actually used.
Since go 1.13 you can wrap errors. This make it no longer possible to
compare with `==`, instead you have to compare with `errors.Is()`.
I noticed this problem because -h was no longer working after I stared
wrapping the errors in my custom FlagErrorFunc function.
Note that this is only a problem when a custom help flag is defined.

This change adds two features for dealing with flags:
- requiring flags be provided as a group (or not at all)
- requiring flags be mutually exclusive of each other
By utilizing the flag annotations we can mark which flag groups
a flag is a part of and during the parsing process we track which
ones we have seen or not.
A flag may be a part of multiple groups. The list of flags and the
type of group (required together or exclusive) make it a unique group.

* Fix flag completion
The flag completion functions should not be stored in the root cmd.
There is no requirement that the root cmd should be the same when
`RegisterFlagCompletionFunc` was called. Storing the flags there does
not work when you add the the flags to your cmd struct before you add the
cmd to the parent/root cmd. The flags can no longer be found in the rigth
place when the completion command is called and thus the flag completion
does not work.
Also #1423 claims that this would be thread safe but we still have a map
which will fail when accessed concurrently. To truly fix this issue use a
RWMutex.

If a 'completion' command is already provided by the program, Cobra

This commit allows programs using Cobra to code their custom completions
in Go instead of Bash.
The new ValidArgsFunction field is added for commands, similarly to
ValidArgs. For flags, the new function
Command.RegisterFlagCompletionFunc() is added.
When either of the above functions is used, the bash completion script
will call the new hidden command '__complete', passing it all
command-line arguments. The '__complete' command will call
the function specified by Command.ValidArgsFunction or by
Command.RegisterFlagCompletionFunc to obtain completions from the
program itself.

Issue Reference: https://github.com/spf13/cobra/issues/1056https://github.com/spf13/cobra/pull/922 introduced a new error
type that emitted when a command was not runnable. This caused
all commands w/o a run function set to error w/ that message and a status code of 1.
This change reverts the addition of that new error. Similar
functionality can be accomplished by leveraging RunE.
