CompleteInput ignoring registered ArgumentCompleters when passed Script or AST #10567

Description

@M1kep

When [System.Management.Automation.CommandCompletion]::CompleteInput is provided a ScriptBlock or AST that has a definition of the command to be completed in it the ArgumentCompleters that are registered in the PowerShell instance are ignored.

This issue is mostly visible when an editor(Visual Studio Code) leverages the CompleteInput to provide Intellisense(As seen in PowerShell/vscode-powershell#2162 ).

@powershell/powershell I am currently working on a fix for this and will submit a PullRequest if deemed valid.

Steps to reproduce

$script = @'
function Test-Completion {
	param (
		[String]$TestVal
	)
}

[scriptblock]$completer = {
	param($commandName, $parameterName, $wordToComplete, $commandAst, $fakeBoundParameters)
	@('Val1','Val2','Val3')
}

Register-ArgumentCompleter -CommandName Test-Completion -ParameterName TestVal -ScriptBlock $completer

Test-Completion -TestVal 
'@

$scriptBl = {
	function Test-Completion {
		param (
			[String]$TestVal
		)
	}

	[scriptblock]$completer = {
		param($commandName, $parameterName, $wordToComplete, $commandAst, $fakeBoundParameters)

		@('Val1', 'Val2', 'Val3')
	}

	Register-ArgumentCompleter -CommandName Test-Completion -ParameterName TestVal -ScriptBlock $completer
}

$pwsh = [PowerShell]::Create()
$pwsh.AddScript($scriptBl)
$pwsh.Invoke()


([System.Management.Automation.CommandCompletion]::CompleteInput($script, $script.Length, $null, $pwsh)).CompletionMatches

Expected behavior

Val1           Val1               Text Val1
