[PATCH 3/3] bash-completion: Added comments to remind about required arguments

From: Ted Pavlic <ted@tedpavlic.com>
  Adds a few simple comments above commands that take arguments. These
  comments are meant to remind developers of potential problems that can
  occur when the script is sourced on systems with "set -u." Any
  function which "requires" arguments really ought to be called with
  explicit arguments given.
  Also adds a #!bash to the top of bash completions so that editing
  software can always identify that the file is of sh type.
