[Bug 1040358] [NEW] please make bash-completion do nothing in non-interactive shells

Public bug reported:

A wishlist item: bash_completion is only sensible in interactive shells.
Using it in non-interactive shells slows down startup and makes it
possible for a chatty completion (something which echoes output) to
break things like rsync. Would make things more robust.

** Affects: bash-completion (Ubuntu)
