[PATCHv3 15/16] bash prompt: avoid command substitution when finalizing gitstring

["SZEDER Gábor" <szeder@ira.uka.de>]

Before setting $PS1, __git_ps1() uses a command substitution to
redirect the output from a printf into a variable.  Spare the overhead
of fork()ing a subshell by using 'printf -v <var>' to directly assign
the output to that variable.

zsh's printf doesn't support the '-v <var>' option, so stick with the
command substitution when under zsh.
