[PATCH 08/11] completion: get rid of __gitcomp_file()

Now that we don't use -o filenames, it's no different from __gitcomp_nl().

The only reason we might want it is for other shells, like zsh, which can do more useful things if they know it's a file, like colouring the output. But that can be done in the zsh completion.
