[Samba] Bash completion file(s) for samba utils...

Though this is a pretty nifty start ease things regarding the "net"
commands, I think the man pages need to have all the commands documented
in it first.  I know that even with the completion files, I would still
need to refer to the man pages or the googles for specific syntax.

I know some functions I would like to see documented more are things
like keytab management.
