cmd.Cmd fails tab completion for lines beginning with ! (bang space)

Bug report

Bug description:

As noted in #133351 (comment) PDB allows commands that start with !, but Cmd fails to tab complete them if there's a space after the !, because it falls down this code path:

cpython/Lib/cmd.py

Lines 274 to 280 in 2bc8365

    
           if begidx>0: 
        
               cmd, args, foo = self.parseline(line) 
        
               if cmd == '': 
        
                   compfunc = self.completedefault 
        
               else: 
        
                   try: 
        
                       compfunc = getattr(self, 'complete_' + cmd)

which expects cmd to always be a string, but parsecmd is returning None instead when the line starts with ! and do_shell is not defined.
