New patches are attached. The first adds tab completion and is just
slightly reworded. The second adds "eww-suggested-uris" to the
completion options, and adds bookmark URIs to the "eww-suggest-uris"
list, since browsers suggest bookmarks too.

If there is "http://example.com"; in the bookmarks, and "example.com" in
the history, both will be provided as a completion. I think this
behavior is correct because those two URLs may not point to the same
place, but browsers sometimes remove the URL scheme component and assume
http:// or https://. I don't think matching that behavior would be good
so I didn't implement it.
