[PATCH] [PR cli/16269] Add completer for the inferior commands

Hi,

Even if those completers are an improvement to the actual state of
things, I realise they still have limitations.

I’ll work on a new version of this patch, and will probably migrate the
inferior related commands to gdb::option style.

This patch can be ignored as it is.

Lancelot.
