There are quite a lot places where an output file is expected to be
empty, and we fail the test when it is not.  The output from running
the test script with -i -v can be helped if we showed the unexpected
contents at that point.

We could of course do

    >expected.empty && test_cmp expected.empty actual

but this is commmon enough to be done with a dedicated helper.

Use the i18n-specific test functions in test scripts for parseopt tests.
This issue was was introduced in v1.7.10.1-488-g54e6d:

    54e6d i18n: parseopt: lookup help and argument translations when showing usage

and been broken under GETTEXT_POISON=YesPlease since.

The user specifies a long option but forgets to type the second
leading dash, we currently detect and report that fact if its first
letter is a valid short option. This is done for safety, to avoid
ambiguity between short options (and their arguments) and a long
option with a missing dash.

This diagnostic message is also helpful for long options whose first
letter is not a valid short option, however. Print it in that case,
too, as a courtesy.

Long options can be negated by adding no- right after the leading
two dashes. This is useful e.g. to override options set by aliases.

For options that are defined to start with no- already, this looks
a bit funny. Allow such options to also be negated by removing the
prefix.

The following thirteen options are affected:

	apply          --no-add
	bisect--helper --no-checkout
	checkout-index --no-create
	clone          --no-checkout --no-hardlinks
	commit         --no-verify   --no-post-rewrite
	format-patch   --no-binary
	hash-object    --no-filters
	read-tree      --no-sparse-checkout
	revert         --no-commit
	show-branch    --no-name
	update-ref     --no-deref

The following five are NOT affected because they are defined with
PARSE_OPT_NONEG or the non-negated version is defined as well:

	branch       --no-merged
	format-patch --no-stat             --no-numbered
	update-index --no-assume-unchanged --no-skip-worktree

Introduce OPT_BOOL() to test-parse-options and add some tests for
these "true" boolean options. Rename OPT_BOOLEAN to OPT_COUNTUP and
OPTION_BOOLEAN to OPTION_COUNTUP as well.

Add OPT_NOOP_NOARG, a helper macro to define deprecated options in a
standard way.  The help text is taken from the no-op option -r of
git revert.

The callback could be made to emit a (conditional?) warning later.  And
we could also add OPT_NOOP (requiring an argument) etc. as needed.

This just adds repeated invocations of an option to a list
of strings. Using the "--no-<var>" form will reset the list
to empty.

When -h is used, print usage messages on stdout.  If a command is invoked with
wrong arguments then print the usage messages on stderr.
