`read-buffer-to-switch', used by `switch-to-buffer', unconditionally
sets `minibuffer-completion-table' to `rbts-completion-table'.  It
should only do that when `read-buffer-function' is set to nil since
`read-buffer-function' cannot do its job properly.

As a minimal reproduction, consider the following [a]

    1. emacs -Q
    2. Evaluate the following form,
        (let ((read-buffer-function
               (lambda (&rest _)
                 (completing-read "prompt: " (list "1" "2")))))
          (call-interactively #'switch-to-buffer))
    3. Type TAB.
    4. *Completions* buffer does not show "1" "2".  If you replace
       (call-interactively ...) with (read-buffer ""), it does.

a. To justify my request, I will write my problem here.  I wrote a
custom read-buffer-function to include "virtual" buffer candidates
(popularised by ivy, helm, etc.) like recentf files, bookmarks, etc.,
but the current behaviour makes my job much harder (or uglier i.e.,
advice) as I have to write custom switch-to-buffer-* commands and remap
the standard switch-to-buffer-*.



BTW, should the docstring of `switch-to-buffer' mention
`read-buffer-to-switch'?  I see that Lars decided against it in bug#23131
(https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-emacs/2021-07/msg00703.html).
