'zcat -f' completion should not filter based on file extension.

'zcat -f' completion should not filter based on file extension.

zcat's completion script only matches files with '.gz' extensions. The
'-f' flag should cause zcat's completion script to stop filtering
completion matches based on their extensions. According to the gzip
manpage, zcat is able to accept and print non-gzip files when passed
'-f'.

That pattern could be '*.(#i)((t|)g|)z(-.)' could it not?
