bistromathic: do not display parse errors on completion

Currently autocompletion on a line with errors leaks the error
messages.  It can be useful to let the user know, but GNU Readline
does not provide us with an nice way to display the error.  So we
actually break into the current line of the user.

So instead, do not show these errors.

* examples/c/bistromathic/parse.y (user_context): New.
Use %param to pass it to the parser and scanner.
Keep quiet when in computing autocompletion.
