Add autocomplete to textfields in the profile. [#51506]

I have made a small change to the profile module which will allow the admin to configure a text field as an autocomplete field so that users can choose from options that have already been used.

This is a first draft as I need some help with the pgsql update, as I wasn't sure how I am suppose to do this, and also if there is interest I could add in like taxonomy so that mutliple values can be entered with a comma separting them.

Here is an update to the original patch which brings it upto date.

I just reviewed your patch and I think there needs to be a check in profile_autocomplete() if the requested field has autocomplete activated and if the user has access to this view/edit profile in general

but maybe I missed something...

I have updated the patch so that the autocomplete checks to make sure the field has autocomplete enabled.

I also fixed up the pgsql update.

1. The last part seems to be missing some code. There is no checkbox on the textfield creation form.

2. Write 'Auto-complete' not 'Auto Complete' (no caps).

3. I think we need to explain 'Auto-complete' so that our father Boris knows what this implies. ;-)

Otherwise looks like an interesting patch! Cool.

The field for updating the Auto-complete was there. Well it is back now.

The value of the checkbox doesn't get saved (and the textfield is always a regular textfied).

This time, I think it is all back in the patch.

When I create a field, I get:

user warning: Column count doesn't match value count at row 1 query: INSERT INTO profile_fields (title, name, explanation, category, type, weight, required, register, visibility, autocomplete, options, page) VALUES ('test', 'profile_test', 'test', 'test', 'textfield', 0, 0, 0, 2, '1', '')

Did you test this?
