These have been stable and widely used for quite a long time, they even have tests outside of the contrib area, and most distributions ship them, so they can be considered part of the core already.

We should be consistent and either we move the tests to contrib, or we move the completions out of contrib.

Let's move them out of contrib and provide an installation target install-extra.

By default bash-completion installs the completions to $(pkgdatadir)/completions, which is $(prefix)/share/bash-completion/completions. And since most distributions do not change this, it is obviously the right default that distributions can override with bashcompdir.

By default zsh looks for completions in $(prefix)/share/zsh/site-functions.
