Generate the autocompletion script for bash


Generate the autocompletion script for the bash shell.
This script depends on the 'bash-completion' package.
If it is not installed already, you can install it via your OS's package manager.
To load completions in your current shell session:
$ source <(mongocli completion bash)
To load completions for every new session, execute once:
Linux:
$ mongocli completion bash > /etc/bash_completion.d/mongocli
MacOS:
$ mongocli completion bash > /usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d/mongocli
You will need to start a new shell for this setup to take effect.
