feat(comp): Allow fuzzy matching during completion

We had made the assumption that when doing shell completion, we only
needed choices that had for *prefix* what the user had typed.
However, the zsh and fish shells have a more advanced matching system
which first matches on prefix, but if no match is found, then does
more advanced matching attempts, such as sub-strings; fish even matches
on descriptions of completions.

For example,
  helm status nginx<tab>
would match releases such as
  ingress-nginx
  ingress-nginx-release
as long as no release had a prefix of "nginx".

Such fuzzy matching can make completion even more useful for users in
cases where identical prefixes are common.
