operating point labels don't have "power" as autocomplete option

Description

When you use an operating point label for power (${OP:power} in a symbol field), autocomplete after ":" suggests the device's pin names, but not "power". "power" is a valid option here, so it would be more discoverable if "power" was suggested.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open attached project: op-power-autocomplete.zip
  2. Double click the "power: " field on the right to edit it
  3. Delete the text and enter ${OP:
  4. Look at autocomplete options and see that "power" is not one of them
