Fixes #18682
Fixes #17067

 1. Only show accessible members
 2. Show several alternatives if they are at same distance. Unlike Scala 2,
    we do not show alternatives at larger distance. I fear that would produce
    more noise than signal.

Fixes scala#17067

in case you wondered if @main is too much magic

If scala.annotation were opened by @syntax, then annotations there would autocomplete only under @ma[etc].

Yes, I like that and did propose it at some point. Failed to convince @sjrd though.
