Subject: Allow __git_ps1 to be used in PROMPT_COMMAND

Changes __git_ps1 to allow its use as PROMPT_COMMAND in bash
in addition to setting PS1 with __git_ps1 in a command substitution.
PROMPT_COMMAND has advantages for using color without running
into prompt-wrapping issues. Only by assigning \[ and \] to PS1
directly can bash know that these and the enclosed zero-width codes in
between don't count in the length of the prompt.
