Teach vis-complete that ".." path segments in the prefix are acceptable.

Instead of trying to filter out path-segments-beginning-with-dot from the
entire path (including the prefix, which would be perfectly legitimate),
tell find to prune hidden directories and ignore hidden file as it walks
the tree.
