Extend parse-options test suite
api-parse-options.txt: Introduce documentation for parse options API
parse-options.c: fix documentation syntax of optional arguments
api-builtin.txt: update and fix typo
When an argument for an option is optional, short options don't need a
space between the option and the argument, and long options need a "=".
Otherwise, arguments are misinterpreted.

When outputting a usage message with a blank line in the
header, we would output a line with four spaces. Make this
truly a blank line.
This helps us remove trailing whitespace from a test vector.

As a general principle, we should not use "git diff" to validate the
results of what git command that is being tested has done. We would not
know if we are testing the command in question, or locating a bug in the
cute hack of "git diff --no-index".
Rather use test_cmp for that purpose.

A non-empty line containing no spaces should be treated by --parseopt as
an option group header, but was causing a bus error. Also added a test
script for rev-parse --parseopt.
