[Bug 1890644] Re: bash-completion for make target with colon fails

[Christian Hujer]

This might be the same bug:
Given the following Makefile
```
foo\ bar:
	touch "$@"
```

When completing
Expected: Then completion completes to "foo\ bar"
Actual: Then completion offers "foo" and "bar" for completion

Change needed: The completion needs to support escapes, ignoring spaces
and colons in the target name when prefixed with a backslash.
