Subject: Bash completion: avoid completion for --l= if --l= is ambiguous

Now that --log-stderr has been added, --l= can be ambiguous.
In that case, don't try expansion for --l=, since john complains:

$ ./john --l=?
Unknown option: "--l=?"

As long as --list is the only option name starting with --l, I still
allow completion - even if this isn't the case for released jumbo version.

Please apply the attached patch to magnum-jumbo.

Frank
