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.
