completion: add proper public __git_complete
When __git_complete was introduced, it was meant to be temporarily, while
a proper guideline for public shell functions was established
(tentatively _GIT_complete), but since that never happened, people
in the wild started to use __git_complete, even though it was marked as
not public.
Eight years is more than enough wait, let's mark this function as
public, and make it a bit more user-friendly.
So that instead of doing:
__git_complete gk __gitk_main
The user can do:
__git_complete gk gitk
And instead of:
__git_complete gf _git_fetch
Do:
__git_complete gf git_fetch
Backwards compatibility is maintained.
