The __git_complete_fetch_refspecs() has to iterate over __git_refs()'s output anyway to turn the listed matching refs into refspecs, and it knows about the prefix and suffix that has to be added to each refspec. Modify this function to add the prefix and suffix to each refspec while iterating and feed the result, since it doesn't need further processing, to the new __gitcomp_direct() helper added in the previous commit, because it should be faster when there are a lot of refspecs to list.
