#1523110 — [PATCH] docs/completion.txt: drop dangling reference to completions-design.txt

Per the original author, the proposed document was never deemed
necessary, and the important bits got merged into completion.txt. Let's
just stop confusing readers by pointing at a nonexistent doc.

I'm not super interested in the missing bits -- just in de-obfuscating
the doc. How about this?
