patch 9.0.0883: a silent mapping may cause dots on the command line

Problem:    A silent mapping may cause dots on the command line.
Solution:   Don't show dots for completion if they are not going to be removed
            again. (closes #11501)

@ -234,6 +234,9 @@ The search string will not be echoed when using this mapping. Messages from
the executed command are still given though. To shut them up too, add a
":silent" in the executed command: >
:map <silent> ,h :exe ":silent normal /Header\r"<CR>
Note that the effect of a command might also be silenced, e.g., when the
mapping selects another entry for command line completion it won't be
displayed.
Prompts will still be given, e.g., for inputdialog().
Using "<silent>" for an abbreviation is possible, but will cause redrawing of
the command line to fail.
