patch 9.1.1576: cannot easily trigger wildcard expansion

Problem:  cannot easily trigger wildcard expansion
Solution: Introduce wildtrigger() function
          (Girish Palya)

This PR introduces a new `wildtrigger()` function.

See `:h wildtrigger()`

`wildtrigger()` behaves like pressing the `wildchar,` but provides a
more refined and controlled completion experience:

- Suppresses beeps when no matches are found.
- Avoids displaying irrelevant completions (like full command lists)
  when the prefix is insufficient or doesn't match.
- Skips completion if the typeahead buffer has pending input or if a
  wildmenu is already active.
- Does not print "..." before completion.

This is an improvement on the `feedkeys()` based autocompletion script
given in #16759.

closes: #17806
