Bug Description
[Impact]
Bash completion is not working for the apt tool.
With the apt-get utility, you could do apt-g<tab> upg<tab> and hit enter and be done. With the new apt tool, you can no longer do this and instead have to type in apt list/update/
[Test Case]
* Type "apt upd".
* Press Tab key.
* Command should complete to "apt update".
* Repeat with the first three letters of other frequently used commands such as install/
* For the install command, the package name should be completed based on packages available in the repositories.
* For the remove/purge command, the package name should be completed based on packages installed on the system.
[Regression Potential]
There shouldn't be any regression since bash-completion didn't previously support apt at all.
