New command 'completion-preview-complete'

This command completes the symbol at point up to the longest
common prefix of all completions candidates.  We also add an
indication of the longest common prefix in the completion
preview by highlighting that part of the preview with the
'completion-preview-exact' face.  To facilitate these features
we change the way we store the completion candidates while the
preview is visible, to explicitly keep the common prefix along
with a list of its suffixes.

* lisp/completion-preview.el (completion-preview--try-table):
Return longest common prefix and list of suffixes instead of
list of full candidates.  Add illustrative comment.
