Autocomplete feature for the keywords field

Description

The KeywordsSuggestPlugin provides an autocomplete function for the keywords ticket field. Optionally, it is possible to restrict the list of allowed keywords. The KeywordSuggestPlugin uses the jQuery plugin: Autocomplete for the javascript part. See also the LoomingCloudsPlugin.

There is a patch provided in #4201 that allows this plugin to work well with the TagsPlugin.
