Add a bash completion script in completion/mmc that completes subcommands and /dev/mmcblkN device paths for all mmc commands. Subcommand completion is driven by parsing 'mmc help' output rather than maintaining a parallel hardcoded verb list, so it stays in sync as commands are added or removed. The completion directory is named 'completion/' rather than 'bash-completion/' so shell-specific scripts for other shells (zsh, fish, etc.) can be placed alongside it without renaming. Add bashcompletiondir variable to the Makefile (defaulting to the standard /usr/share/bash-completion/completions) and install the script as part of 'make install'. The install path can be overridden at build time with make bashcompletiondir=<path>.
