PATCH: rebind tab to use complete-word



This should be a fairly smooth way of getting tab rebound to complete-word
if the completer uses _expand.  compinstall now arranges for compinit to be
called after styles are set up, and compinit checks that the default
completer set (actually whatever definition is returned for the context
':completion:', because I couldn't think of anything better, although
':completion:::::' might have been) includes _expand, and if tab is bound
to expand-or-complete it rebinds it to complete-word.

compinstall put in any line which manipulated $fpath after the call to
compinit: this was fairly obviously wrong.
