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.

* maint-1.5.4:
core-tutorial.txt: Fix showing the current behaviour.
git-archive: ignore prefix when checking file attribute
Fix documentation syntax of optional arguments in short options.
When an argument for an option is optional, like in -n from git-tag,
puting a space between the option and the argument is interpreted
as a missing argument for the option plus an isolated argument.
Documentation now reflects the need to write the parameter following
the option -n, as in "git tag -nARG", for instance.

There are quite a few places that will need to call approxidate(),
when they'll adopt the parse-options system, so this patch adds the
function parse_opt_approxidate_cb(), used by OPT_DATE.

remote show: Clean up connection correctly if object fetch wasn't done
builtin-remote: prune remotes correctly that were added with --mirror
Make git-remote a builtin
Test "git remote show" and "git remote prune"

This is meant to be used to keep --not and --all during revision parsing.

If options are aggregated, and that the whole token is an exact
prefix of a long option that is longer than 2 letters, reject
it. This is to prevent a common typo:
$ git commit -amend
to get interpreted as "commit all with message 'end'".
The typo check isn't performed if there is no aggregation,
because the stuck form is the recommended one. If we have `-o`
being a valid short option that takes an argument, and --option
a long one, then we _MUST_ accept -option as "'o' option with
argument 'ption'", which is our official recommended form.

This is useful for backward-compatibility aliases, or very advanced command
line switches introduced for internal git usages and have no real use for a
user.
parse-options still shows them if the user asks for --help-all.

HAS_MULTI_BITS (in git-compat-util.h) is a bit-hack to check if an

When an option could be an ambiguous abbreviation of two options, the code
used to error out. Even if an exact match would have occured later.

When there is an option "--amend", the option parser now recognizes
"--am" for that option, provided that there is no other option beginning
with "--am".

* add the possibility to use callbacks to parse some options, this can
help implementing new options kinds with great flexibility. struct option
gains a callback pointer and a `defval' where callbacks user can put
either integers or pointers. callbacks also can use the `value' pointer
for anything, preferably to the pointer to the final storage for the value
though.
* add a `flag' member to struct option to make explicit that this option may
have an optional argument. The semantics depends on the option type. For
INTEGERS, it means that if the switch is not used in its
--long-form=<value> form, and that there is no token after it or that the
token does not starts with a digit, then it's assumed that the switch has
no argument. For STRING or CALLBACK it works the same, except that the
condition is that the next atom starts with a dash. This is needed to
implement backward compatible behaviour with existing ways to parse the
command line. Its use for new options is discouraged.

The option parser takes argc, argv, an array of struct option
and a usage string. Each of the struct option elements in the array
describes a valid option, its type and a pointer to the location where the
value is written. The entry point is parse_options(), which scans through
the given argv, and matches each option there against the list of valid
options. During the scan, argv is rewritten to only contain the
non-option command line arguments and the number of these is returned.
Aggregation of single switches is allowed:
-rC0 is the same as -r -C 0 (supposing that -C wants an arg).
Every long option automatically support the option with the same name,
prefixed with 'no-' to unset the switch. It assumes that initial value for
strings are "NULL" and for integers is "0".
Long options are supported either with '=' or without:
--some-option=foo is the same as --some-option foo
