Autocompletion is a useful feature, but it's not always possible to anticipate every input the user could provide in advance. For instance, if we're allowing the user to input a path to a file, it's not practical to populate an array with every file and directory in the filesystem, but we can easily build a callback function that populates its suggestions based on the path already inputted.

This change replaces the autocomplete logic that accepts an array of suggestions with an architecture that uses a callback function to populate suggestions in real time as the user provides input.

The first commit adds a test class covering all methods of the `Question` object, while the second commit modifies the `Question` object to accept and store a callback function. The existing `[gs]etAutocompleterValues()` methods are preserved, but instead of being referenced directly from the `QuestionHelper`, they create and call their own callbacks to emulate the current behaviour.

There is one edge case that is changed, as documented in the test: when a `Traversable` object is passed to `setAutocompleterValues()`, the return value of `getAutocompleterValues()` will be the unpacked (array) form of that object rather than the object itself. The unpacking is done lazily and cached on the callback function.
