[sbt] sbt (Scala's "Simple Build Tool") completion would be nice to have · withfig/autocomplete#1922

### Sanity checks - [X] My issue relates to a specific CLI completion spec (e.g. `git checkout` is missing options in `git` completion spec). If your issue is more general, please create your issue here: [withfig/fig](https://github.com/withfig/fig/issues/new?assignees=&labels=NEED_TO_LABEL&template=main_issue_template.yml) - [X] I have searched [github.com/withfig/autocomplete/issues](https://github.com/withfig/autocomplete/issues?q=) and there are no duplicates of my issue - [ ] I would like to work on this. ### What CLI tool does this relate to? sbt ### Which statement makes the most sense? This completion spec does not exist ### Issue Details Ideally, as many as possible. For me personally, `clean`, `compile`, `test`, `testOnly`, and the `~` variants are most relevant. Not sure how possible that is, but even better would be to support contextual information, like what projects, aliases, etc. are defined in `build.sbt` Reference can be found [here](https://www.scala-sbt.org/1.x/docs/Command-Line-Reference.html)

Issue Details

Ideally, as many as possible.

Contributor guide

Research direction: Study the existing completion specs in this repository (e.g., for other build tools) to understand the pattern and API. Then implement a new spec for sbt covering common commands (clean, compile, test, testOnly, ~ variants) and optionally add support for parsing build.sbt to provide contextual completions for projects and aliases.
