[PATCH v3 02/29] completion: zsh: fix name due to broken autoloading

Commit 176f5adfdb wrongly changed the installation path to '~/.zsh/git-completion.zsh', this ensures the script is not automatically loaded.

The whole point of adding the script to the fpath variable is that it's autoloaded after typing 'git<tab>', which won't happen unless it's named _git.

I've changed the wording so it's crystal clear the name of the file *must* be '_git'.
