remove vim syntax highlighting in favor of upstream

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.
