C-g in the completions buffer closes the completions window,
then the second C-g in the minibuffer exits the minibuffer.

So C-g in the minibuffer could be two-step as well:
first C-g closes the completions window and clears the suffix,
second C-g exits the minibuffer.

Neither of them wraps to the beginning like next-completion does.
This means we need a new command next-completion-vertical.
