Rely on the upstream filetype.vim instead of duplicating its rules in
git's instructions for syntax highlighting support on pre-7.2 vim
versions.
The result is a shorter contrib/vim/README. More importantly, it lets
us punt on maintenance of the autocmd rules.
So now when we fix the upstream gitsendemail rule in light of commit
eed6ca7, new git users stuck on old vim reading contrib/vim/README can
automagically get the fix without any further changes needed to git.
Once the world has moved on to vim 7.2+ completely, we can get rid of
these instructions, but for now if they are this simple it's
effortless to keep them.

Vim's SVN repository doesn't offer the latest runtime files, since
normally they are only updated there on a release. Though currently
there is no difference between the SVN and HTTP/FTP version of the git
syntax files.

As of version 7.2, vim ships with its own syntax
highlighting for git commit messages, which is:
1. more comprehensive in splitting up the various
components of the file
2. in accordance with the usual vim behavior for syntax
highlighting (e.g., respecting b:current_syntax)
3. presumably better maintained (I have not been using
what's in git's contrib/ directory for some time in
favor of the upstream version)
Furthermore, vim upsream also provides syntax highlighting
for other git filetypes (gitconfig, rebase, send-email).
This patch gets rid of our local version and just points
interested parties to the upstream version.
The code for auto-detecting filetypes is taken from vim's
runtime/filetype.vim.
