patch 9.1.1742: complete: preinsert does not work well with preinsert

Problem:  complete: preinsert does not work well with preinsert
Solution: Make "preinsert" completeopt value work with autocompletion
          (Girish Palya)

This change extends Insert mode autocompletion so that 'preinsert' also
works when 'autocomplete' is enabled.

Try: `:set ac cot=preinsert`

See `:help 'cot'` for more details.

closes: #18213

Example setup~
A typical configuration for automatic completion with a popup menu: >
set autocomplete
set complete=.^5,w^5,b^5,u^5
set completeopt=popup
inoremap <silent><expr> <Tab> pumvisible() ? "\<C-n>" : "\<Tab>"
inoremap <silent><expr> <S-Tab> pumvisible() ? "\<C-p>" : "\<S-Tab>"
<
This enables automatic completion with suggestions from the current buffer,
other windows, and listed buffers, displayed in a popup menu. Each source is
limited to 5 candidates. <Tab> and <S-Tab> move through the items when the
menu is visible. Optionally, add "preinsert" to 'completeopt' to insert the
longest common prefix automatically. You can also add other completion
sources to 'complete' as needed.
See also 'autocomplete', 'autocompletedelay' and 'autocompletetimeout'.
For command-line autocompletion, see |cmdline-autocompletion|.
