### Improves debug console autocompletion behavior

This PR fixes a regression in completion trigger support for the debug
console, as we only looked if a completion trigger, was in the beginning
of the search text, but we also had to check if the current text is a
word so we also show completions for variables/input that doesn't start
with any of the completion triggers.

We now also leverage DAP provided information to sort completion items
more effectively. This results in improved prioritization, showing
variable completions above classes and global scope types.

I also added for completion the documentation field, that directly comes
from the DAP server. NOTE: I haven't found an adapter that returns this,
but it needs to have.
