patch 9.1.1426: completion: register contents not completed
Problem: CTRL-X CTRL-R only completes individual words from registers,
making it difficult to insert complete register content.
Solution: Add consecutive CTRL-X CTRL-R support - first press completes
words, second press completes full register lines, similar to
CTRL-X CTRL-L and CTRL-X CTRL-P behavior (glepnir).
