Fix prefix parsing to start method completion when typing # (#1363)

* Add a test illustrating issue #1358

Object methods are not completed

* Fix prefix parsing for method call

When completing module paths or record fields Merlin expects the
    beginning of the path and the `.` to be part of the prefix. But when
    accessing an object's methods, the prefix should not contain the `#`
    sign. We use a sub-matching group to that effect.

    - Prefix for [my_record.|] is ["my_record."] (handled by [name_or_label])
    - Prefix for [my_object#|] is [""] (handled by [method_call])

* Changelog entry for #1363

Fixes #1358
