Support for git aliasing for tcsh completion

tcsh users sometimes alias the 'git' command to another name.  In
this case, the user expects to only have to issue a new 'complete'
command using the alias name.

However, the tcsh script currently uses the command typed by the
user to call the appropriate function in git-completion.bash, either
_git() or _gitk().  When using an alias, this technique no longer
works.

This change specifies the real name of the command (either 'git' or
'gitk') as a parameter to the script handling tcsh completion.  This
allows the user to use any alias for the 'git' or 'gitk' commands,
while still getting completion to work.

A check for the presence of ${HOME}/.git-completion.bash is also
added to help the user make use of the script properly.
