[PATCH] completion: zsh: update installation instructions

Commit 0e5ed7cca3 wrongly changed the extension of the bash script to .zsh. The extension doesn't really matter, but it confuses people.

I've changed the text to make it clear that your zsh script goes to ~/.zsh/_git, and the bash script to ~/.git-completion.bash (or wherever you want).

Also, update the default locations of the system bash-completion.
