Split a rather heavy-ish "git completion" script out to create a
separate "git prompting" script, to help lazy-autoloading of the
completion part while making prompting part always available.
Commit 7f02f3d7 (completion: rename internal helpers _git and _gitk,
2012-05-19) renamed said functions to _main_git() and _main_gitk(),
respectively. By convention the name of our git-completion-specific
functions start with '_git' or '__git' prefix, so rename those
functions once again to put them back into our "namespace". Use the
two underscore prefix, because _git_main() could be mistaken for the
completion function of the (not yet existing) 'git main' command.

Would be useful to provide backwards compatibility for _git. Also, zsh
completion uses _git, and it cannot be changed.

This simplifies the completions, and would make it easier to define
aliases in the future.

The following patch will add tests for the bash prompt functions as a
new test script, which also has to be run under bash.

The bash completion doesn't work when certain options to git itself are
specified, e.g. 'git --no-pager <TAB>' errors out with
error: invalid key: alias.--no-pager
The main _git() completion function finds out the git command name by
looping through all the words on the command line and searching for
the first word that is not a known option for the git command.
Unfortunately the list of known git options was not updated in a long
time, and newer options are not skipped but mistaken for a git command.
Such a misrecognized "command" is then passed to __git_aliased_command(),
which in turn passes it to a 'git config' query, hence the error.
Currently the following options are misrecognized for a git command:
-c --no-pager --exec-path --html-path --man-path --info-path
--no-replace-objects --work-tree= --namespace=
To fix this we could just update the list of options to be skipped,
but the same issue will likely arise, if the git command learns a new
option in the future. Therefore, to make it more future proof against
new options, this patch changes that loop to skip all option-looking
words, i.e. words starting with a dash.
We also have to handle the '-c' option specially, because it takes a
configutation parameter in a separate word, which must be skipped,
too.

"--exec-path" looks to the completion script like an unambiguous
successful completion, but it is wrong to emit a SP after it as if
declaring that we are done with completion; the user could be trying
to do
git --exec-path; # print name of helper directory
or
git --exec-path=/path/to/alternative/helper/dir <subcommand>
so the most helpful thing to do is to leave out the trailing space and
leave it to the operator to type an equal sign or carriage return
according to the situation.

These tests check that trailing space, prefix, and suffix are added
correctly.
