[ruby/irb] Allow disabling autocompletion with
`IRB_USE_AUTOCOMPLETE=false`
(https://github.com/ruby/irb/pull/469)
* Allow using IRB_USE_AUTOCOMPLETE=false to disable autocompletion
Currently, the only 2 ways to disable autocompletion are:
1. Create `.irbrc` and set `IRB.conf[:USE_AUTOCOMPLETE] = false`
2. Add the `--noautocomplete` flag when using the `irb` executable
Both of them are less convenient than setting a env var and are
lesser known to devs.
And given the number of problems the autocompletion has (see #445), I
think we should allow disabling it with a simple `IRB_USE_AUTOCOMPLETE=false`.
* Mention some env var configs in the README
