PATCH: _git: Offer git-foo commands from $PATH

PATCH: _git: Offer git-foo commands from $PATH

[Frank Terbeck]

This helps supporting third-party add-ons. This could be made smarter,
like filtering out git-foo commands where `foo' is already in another
sub-command group. Like `git cvsserver' which is already in "interaction
commands".

This could also be made optional via a boolean style... I don't know.
What about others? Nikolai?

I haven’t forgotten about this.  I returned from vacation a couple of
days ago and haven’t had time to look at this yet.

I feel, though, that the _git-X completion files should be able to set
a zstyle with the description of the command instead of forcing _git
to look for a #desc: line.

I’ll look into this further as soon as possible.
