This command completes the symbol at point up to the longest
common prefix of all completions candidates. We also add an
indication of the longest common prefix in the completion
preview by highlighting that part of the preview with the
'completion-preview-exact' face. To facilitate these features
we change the way we store the completion candidates while the
preview is visible, to explicitly keep the common prefix along
with a list of its suffixes.
* lisp/completion-preview.el (completion-preview--try-table):
Return longest common prefix and list of suffixes instead of
list of full candidates. Add illustrative comment.

This fixes an issue where 'completion-preview-next-candidate'
would fail to take into account the part of the symbol that
follows point (the suffix) when point is at the middle of a
symbol, as well as a similar issue in 'completion-preview--show'
that would manifest with slow 'completion-at-point-functions'.
* lisp/completion-preview.el (completion-preview-next-candidate)
(completion-preview--show): Ensure that the completion preview
remains at the end of a symbol, when updating it while point is
in the middle of that symbol.
* test/lisp/completion-preview-tests.el
(completion-preview-mid-symbol-cycle): New test. (Bug#68875)
Fix handling of capfs that return a function or signal an error,
respect the ':exclusive' completion property, fix lingering "exact"
face after deletion that makes the matches non-exact, and add tests.
* lisp/completion-preview.el (completion-preview--make-overlay): Only
reuse the previous 'after-string' if it has the right face.
(completion-preview--try-table)
(completion-preview--capf-wrapper): New functions.
(completion-preview--update): Use them.
* test/lisp/completion-preview-tests.el: New file. (Bug#67275)
