git: support --list-cmds=list-<category>

This allows us to select any group of commands by a category defined
in command-list.txt. This is an internal/hidden option so we don't
have to be picky about the category name or worried about exposing too
much.

This will be used later by git-completion.bash to retrieve certain
command groups.
