willian.eth f2c8c5204e Add shell completion for beacon-chain and validator CLI (#16245)
**What type of PR is this?**

Feature

**What does this PR do? Why is it needed?**

Introduces a `completion` subcommand to `beacon-chain` and `validator`
that outputs shell completion scripts. Supports Bash, Zsh, and Fish
shells.

```bash
# Load completions in current session
source <(beacon-chain completion bash)

# Persist for future sessions
beacon-chain completion zsh > "${fpath[1]}/_beacon-chain"
validator completion fish > ~/.config/fish/completions/validator.fish
```

Once loaded, users can press TAB to complete subcommands, nested
commands, and flags. Flag completion supports prefix matching (e.g.,
typing `--exec<TAB>` suggests `--execution-endpoint`,
`--execution-headers`).

**Which issues(s) does this PR fix?**

Fixes #16244

**Other notes for review**

The implementation adds three files to the existing `cmd` package:
- `completion.go` - Defines `CompletionCommand()` returning a
`*cli.Command` with `bash`, `zsh`, `fish` subcommands
- `completion_scripts.go` - Contains the shell script templates
- `completion_test.go` - Unit tests for command structure and script
content

Changes to `beacon-chain` and `validator`:
- Import `cmd.CompletionCommand("binary-name")` in the Commands slice
- Set `EnableBashCompletion: true` on the cli.App to activate
urfave/cli's `--generate-bash-completion` hidden flag

The shell scripts call the binary with `--generate-bash-completion`
appended to get context-aware suggestions. This means completions
automatically reflect the current binary's flags and commands.
