[lttng-dev] Bash completion v0.00001

[Simon Marchi]

Yes, that's what i thought.

When you type "git branch <tab><tab>", it gives you a list of
branches. If you type "git branch -<tab><tab>", it gives you the list
of options that apply to branch.

In the same idea, "lttng start <tab><tab>" should give you a list of
existing sessions (TODO), but "lttng start -<tab><tab>" should give
you the list of options that apply to start.
