Some tweaks to the new autocomplete code (could probably be applied to DIMP
as well)

1. If there is only one match for an address fragment, expand it without
user intervention. In other words, if I type a unique name fragment (like,
say, my wife's name ;) into an address field and immediately tab out of it,
it should be automatically expanded without a dropdown, like the old
auto-expand behavior. Same thing for if I type several unique names
seperated by commas - I shouldn't have to pause to complete each one if
there's only one choice.

2. Don't show the dropdown if there's just one choice, period - just expand,
perhaps highlighting the filled-in text so it's easy to correct if it was
wrong. Not 100% sure on this one.

3. Don't show a dropdown when the address is already complete. Right now I
can get the dropdown to show if I fiddle around in a field that's already
expanded - before we didn't muck with already valid addresses, this should
be the same (especially since a name + email pair is not going to provide
multiple options anyway - another instance of showing dropdowns with just
one option).
