Fix zsh for DirectiveNoSpace and DirectiveNoFileComp

Fixes #1211

When handling ShellCompDirectiveNoSpace we must still properly handle
descriptions.  To do so we cannot simply use 'compadd', but must use
zsh's '_describe' function.

Also, when handling ShellCompDirectiveNoSpace we cannot assume that
only a single completion will be given to the script.  In fact,
ValidArgsFunction can return multiple completions, even if they don't
match the 'toComplete' argument prefix.  Therefore, we cannot use the
number of completions received in the completion script to determine
if we should activate the "no space" directive.  Instead, we can leave
it all to the '_describe' function.

Fixes #1212

When handling ShellCompDirectiveNoFileComp we cannot base ourself on
the script receiving no valid completion. In fact,
ValidArgsFunction can return multiple completions, even if they don't
match the 'toComplete' argument prefix at all.  Therefore, we cannot use
the number of completions received by the completion script to determine
if we should activate the "no file comp" directive.  Instead, we can
check if the '_describe' function has found any completions.

Finally, it is important for the script to return the return code of the
called zsh functions (_describe, _arguments).  This tells zsh if
completions were found or not, which if not, will trigger different
matching attempts, such as matching what the user typed with the the
content of possible completions (instead of just as the prefix).
