Fix whitespace handling in command-mode completion

8584b38cfb switched to shellwords for
completion in command-mode. This changes the conditions for choosing
whether to complete the command or use the command's completer.

This change processes the input as shellwords up-front and uses
shellword logic about whitespace to determine whether the command
or argument should be completed.
