Subject: [PATCH] fix(shell-completion): give correct suggestions when command
 line ends with a space (#10607)

* fix(shell-completion): give correct suggestions when command line ends with a space

fixes an issue where if you tried to complete any part of any subcommand
with a space before <TAB> (eg: `pnpm run <TAB>`, `pnpm rm react <TAB>`),
pnpm would give you suggestions for the root command, as if you had
typed `pnpm <TAB>`

close #7964
close #5426
