[jboss-as7-dev] cli: default tab completion list

[Alexey Loubyansky]

The number of the options in the resulting list is another reason, 
although not the defining one.

As to the read-attribute and read-resource operations, I think there 
should be commands for that for at least two reasons:

- more user friendly syntax of the commands;
- more user friendly output of the result.

Operation results are printed as-is, i.e. ModelNode.toString. And I 
would like to keep it this way. But this format could be confusing (and 
it is, there is a jira issue for that already) for users. I'd fix it by 
adding commands (something like result formatters could also be an option).
