Allow skipping completion suggestions when buffer matches a pattern

Set ZSH_AUTOSUGGEST_COMPLETION_IGNORE to a glob pattern to have the
completion suggestion strategy never make suggestions when the buffer
matches the pattern.

This can be helpful when some completion routines you have are
particularly expensive and you want to prevent them from running
automatically on every keystroke.

See GitHub issue #463.
