completion: split __git_ps1 into a separate script

bash-completion 1.90 shipped with support to load completions
dynamically[1], which means the git completion script wouldn't be loaded
until the user types 'git <tab>'--this creates a problem to people using
__git_ps1(); that function won't be available when the shell is first
created.

For now distributions have workarounded this issue by moving the git
completion to the "compatdir"[2]; this of course is not ideal.

The solution, proposed by Kerrick Staley[3], is to split the git script
in two; the part that deals with __git_ps1() in one (i.e.
git-prompt.sh), and everything else in another (i.e.
git-completion.bash).

Another benefit of this is that zsh user that are not interested in the
bash completion can use it for their prompts, which has been tried
before[4].

The only slight issue is that __gitdir() would be duplicated, but this
is probably not a big deal.

So let's go ahead and move __git_ps1() to a new file.

While at this, I took the liberty to reformat the help text in the new
file.
