The reason why Git CMD was deprecated: we originally thought it would be _impossible_ to override the default where running `git show` in a directory containing, say, a `git.cmd` script would _not_ run the intended `git.exe`, which was considered a security issue. As of git-for-windows/MINGW-packages@82172388b (git: prevent Git CMD from picking up git.exe in the local directory, 2018-11-22), we however _do_ have a way to prevent this vulnerability. So let's just remove the "(Deprecated)" label from `Git CMD` because the reason for it no longer exists. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

The reason to deprecate Git CMD went away as of git-for-windows/MINGW-packages@82172388b. So let's revert the deprecation.
