[patch] enabling vi-style completion in posix mode

[Dick Streefland]

Hi,

The patch for bash-2.05a below removes a posix_readline_initialize()
call, which I think is superfluous. This function is already called
earlier from sv_strict_posix(). The second call makes it impossible to
enable vi-style completion in your ~/.inputrc file when the shell is
started in posix mode.

When the shell is started as /bin/sh, it will run in posix mode. This
means that when vi-style commandline editing is selected, TAB will be
bound to self-insert, because that is a POSIX requirement. Overruling
this behavior by adding a "TAB: complete" line to your ~/.inputrc file
doesn't work, because this binding is overruled again by the second
call to posix_readline_initialize(). The patch below shouldn't change
the default behavior, but makes it possible to use vi-style completion
(I can't live without it) in posix mode.
