bash prompt: run 'git rev-parse --git-dir' directly instead of __gitd…

…ir()

__git_ps1() finds out the path to the repository by using the
__gitdir() helper function.  __gitdir() is basically just a wrapper
around 'git rev-parse --git-dir', extended with support for
recognizing a remote repository given as argument, to use the path
given on the command line, and with a few shortcuts to recognize a git
repository in cwd or at $GIT_DIR quickly without actually running 'git
rev-parse'.  However, the former two is only necessary for the
completion script but makes no sense for the bash prompt, while the
latter shortcuts are performance optimizations __git_ps1() can do
without (they just avoid the overhead of fork()+exec()ing a git
process).

Run 'git rev-parse --git-dir' directly in __git_ps1(), because it will
allow this patch series to combine several $(git rev-parse ...)
command substitutions in the main code path, and the overall
performance benefit will far outweigh the loss of those few shortcuts
in __gitdir().  Furthermore, since __gitdir() is not needed anymore
for the prompt, remove it from the prompt script finally eliminating
its duplication between the prompt and completion scripts.  Also
remove the comment from the completion script warning about this code
duplication.
