[PATCH v3 3/7] completion: add new __gitcompadd helper

The idea is to never touch the COMPREPLY variable directly.

This allows other completion systems (i.e. zsh) to override __gitcompadd, and do something different instead.

Also, this allows further optimizations down the line.
There should be no functional changes.
