It was not "newer versions of bash" but newer versions of
bash-completion that made commit 085e2ee0e6 (completion: load
completion file for external subcommand, 2018-04-29) both necessary
and possible.
Update the corresponding RelNotes entry accordingly.

Mention that this feature works with some commands (merge and cherry-pick,
implying that it also works with commands that build on these like rebase
-m and rebase -i). Explicitly mentioning two commands hopefully implies
that it may not always work with other commands (am, and rebase without
flags that imply either -m or -i).
Also, since the directory rename detection from this cycle was
specifically added in merge-recursive and not diffcore-rename, remove the
'in "diff" family" phrase from the note. (Folks have requested in the
past that `git diff` detect directory renames and somehow simplify its
output, so it may be helpful to avoid implying that diff has any new
capability here.)

In the 2.18 cycle, directory rename detection was merged, then reverted,
then reworked in such a way to fix another prominent bug in addition to
the original problem causing it to be reverted. When the reworked series
was merged, we ended up with two nearly duplicate release notes. Remove
the second copy, but preserve the information about the extra bug fix.
