Add prompt_toolkit's unix_word_rubout to assignable commands for shortcuts (#15105)

`unix-word-rubout` / `nc.unix_word_rubout` is closer to a lot of folks'
shell's Ctrl-W behaviour, so it would be nice to be able to set it up
cleanly in config files.

As best as I can tell the set of unassigned allowed commands is neither
tested nor documented anywhere; it's not clear what warrants inclusion
or exclusion from the group.
