Summary: Auto-completion list placement

Initial Comment:
The completion list placement logic is currently very primitive. Sometimes the 
completion list extends outside of the editor window, or even outside the 
screen so that part of it is not visible.

This patch places the completion list inside the text widget if possible, above 
or below the typed text, as appropriate. It will not hide the currently typed 
text in any case.

End-cases:
* If the text widget is not high enough, the completion list is placed below 
the currently typed text.
* If the text widget is not wide enough, the completion list is aligned with 
the left-most edge of the text widget.

In any case the size of the completion list is not altered to fit the text 
widget, though this would probably be the best solution when the text widget is 
too small. This means that with this patch, the completion list may extend 
beyond the text widget if it is small.

I have not implemented resizing of the list this since the list's size is 
currently not set at all - Tk's default is used. Changing it anywhere in the 
code would require setting it elsewhere, hard-coding a default or making it 
configurable, etc.

Comments please!

Haven't you introduced a regression on [ 1571112 ] simple moves freeze
IDLE by the changes at the beginning of the patch?  Also, the assignment to
previous_completion was intended to make the code clearer.
