completion: don't disambiguate tags and branches

When the completion script has to list only tags or only branches, it
uses the 'git for-each-ref' format 'refname:short', which makes sure
that all listed tags and branches are unambiguous.  However,
disambiguating tags and branches in these cases is wrong, because:

  - __git_tags(), the helper function listing possible tagname
    arguments for 'git tag', lists an ambiguous tag
    'refs/tags/ambiguous' as 'tags/ambiguous'.  Its only consumer,
    'git tag' expects its tagname argument to be under 'refs/tags/',
    thus it interprets that abgiguous tag as
    'refs/tags/tags/ambiguous'.  Clearly wrong.

  - __git_heads() lists possible branchname arguments for 'git branch'
    and possible 'branch.<branchname>' configuration subsections.
    Both of these expect branchnames to be under 'refs/heads/' and
    misinterpret a disambiguated branchname like 'heads/ambiguous'.

Furthermore, disambiguation involves several stat() syscalls for each
tag or branch, thus comes at a steep cost especially on Windows and/or
when there are a lot of tags or branches to be listed.

Use the 'git for-each-ref' format 'refname:strip=2' instead of
'refname:short' to avoid harmful disambiguation of tags and branches
in __git_tags() and __git_heads().
