Intelligent completion for jack-{dis,}connect is now done.

For the simplest case, where you only have alsa_pcm with two
capture and two playback ports available, the connection commands
can be used with very few keystrokes:

To connect capture_1 to playback_2:
  M-x jack-c RET c TAB 1 RET 2 RET
To disconnect this connection (if it is the only one):
  M-x jack-d RET c RET

I.e. whenever jack-{dis,}connect can guess whats comming next,
the field gets filled in and the user doesnt even have to type anything.
Even common prefixes are inserted, i.e. if a client has only
ports starting with capture_, the completion prompt already
inserts this.

You can even think in reverse, if you give jack-connect an input
port as first arg, it will only allow output ports for completion
for the second arg, and automatically reverse the two such that jack_connect
groks the invokation.

Same goes for jack-disconnect, you dont necessarily have to
give the output port as first arg, you can start with the input port.

So long
