Description

The vss-cli has the ability to auto-complete option arguments when properly configured and this feature was not working properly.

`compute vm mk from-clone`: option `--snapshot` auto-completion throws exception. (`#515`)

Description

Cloning virtual machines from a given snapshot is also possible and auto-completion works by looking up the --source virtual machine snapshots. If a single snapshot is found, it will auto-complete the option argument with the snapshot_id, however if the lookup finds many, it will prompt for selection as follows:

vss-cli compute vm mk from-clone --source vm-1234 --snapshot <tab><tab>
3  -- SR-1633 - Before super upgrade  from 2022-04-29 11:35:00-04:00 valid for 1
4  -- SR-1634 - After super upgrade  from 2022-04-29 11:35:00-04:00 valid for 1

`request retirement get`: auto-completion throws exception. (`#516`)

Improvements

`core`: update `pyvss` to `2022.4.0`. (`#510`)

`core`: update `click` to `8.1.3`. (`#511`)

`core`: update `pre-commit` hook `black`to `22.3.0`. (`#512`)
