completion: fix shell expansion of items

As reported by Jeroen Meijer[1]; the current code doesn't deal properly
with items (tags, branches, etc.) that have ${} in them because they get
expaned by bash while using compgen.

A simple solution is to quote the items so they get expanded properly
(\$\{\}).

In order to achieve that I took bash-completion's quote() function,
which is rather simple, and renamed it to __git_quote() as per Jeff
King's suggestion.

Solves the original problem for me.
