bashcompletion: show available command-line switches for aliases

When auto-completing hg commands, aliases are listed, but not the available
switches for an alias, because `HGPLAIN=1` filters these out. Add a
`HGPLAINEXCEPT=alias` exception to resolve this.

We make heavy use of aliases that drive hg log with custom revsets, sorting and
the -G switch, but want our users to be able to auto-complete any additional
command-line switches.
