[RFC/PATCH v2 3/8] completion: add new __gitcompadd helper

The idea is to never touch the COMPREPLY variable directly.

This allows other completion systems override __gitcompadd, and do something different instead.

Also, this allows the simplification of the completion tests (separate patch).

There should be no functional changes.
