We're going to use the result of "git xxx --git-completion-helper" not
only for feeding COMPREPLY.
Therefore, factor out the execution and the caching of its results in
__gitcomp_builtin, to a new function __git_resolve_builtins.
While we're here, move an important comment we have in the function to
its header, so it gains visibility.

I've changed my mind last minute, and renamed the function to
__git_resolve_builtins, so the subject of this patch is different
from the one included in the cover letter.
