The package providing /usr/share/pkgconfig/bash-completion.pc changed
from bash-completion to bash-completion-devel in Fedora 41 onwards [1].
This meant that the Bash completions were no longer being generated and
installed by the CI.

Unlike Fedora, where the package providing bash-completion.pc changed in
Fedora 41 onwards [1,2], it hasn't changed in CentOS Stream 9.  So, this
doesn't change the behaviour of the CI.

However, the Fedora Packaging Guidelines recommend using pkgconfig(...)
to depend on a *.pc file [3], instead of the name of the package, and
there has been a problem on Fedora caused by not doing that.  Therefore,
it's better to follow the guidelines for consistency and safety.
