Improve zsh completion documentation #1169

The documentation mistakenly mentions that the user could setup zsh completion by doing:

source <(myprogram completion zsh)

This has been removed. It was noticed in #1165.

Also, the documentation to the changes to zsh completion did not include the fact that the - prefix is now required to complete flag names (as is done for bash completion). This was added. It was noticed in #899 (comment)

I wonder if it's worth mentioning that the completion system needs to be in place before this will work. For example, someone's ~/.zshrc should have:

autoload -U compinit
compinit

otherwise starting a new shell with the completion scripts in place won't work. I believe that's the issue here: #1165 (comment) . If someone's using something like ohmyzsh, this is usually taken care of for them, but I think being more verbose could help.

Otherwise, this looks good to me!

@jpmcb good point. I'll push a tweak.

@jpmcb Do you think this is clear enough?

Also, do you know how to source the powershell completion script? We should add this info as well, but I don't know anything about powershell.

Yes, this looks good to me!! 👍

I don't know too much about powershell, but I can boot up my windows PC and give it a look sometime soon!
