[PATCH v3 1/1] doc: Change zsh git completion file name

From

Message-ID
<7919addea85597c3c910a09cbc1d931c6f71c544.1571165293.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To
<pull.367.v3.git.1571165293.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Maxim Belsky <public.belsky@gmail.com>

The original comment does not describe type of ~/.zsh/_git explicitly and zsh does not warn or fail if a user create it as a dictionary. So unexperienced users could be misled by the original comment.

There is a small update to clarify it.
