Previous commits have started to use the parse-options API to display
output from `git fast-import -h` and `git fast-import --help-all` and
to prepare for parsing the command line options using this API.
Let's now actually use the API to parse command line options.
This brings a number of changes that are mostly beneficial:
- The `--alias`, `--get-mark`, `--cat-blob`, `--ls` and `--notes`
options are no longer accepted on the command line. They were
previously accepted as no-ops because parse_argv() fell through to
parse_one_feature(). They are not documented in the OPTIONS section
and are only meaningful as in-stream feature assertions, so
accepting them on the command line was an accident of code sharing
dating back to 9c8398f0c9 (fast-import: add option command,
2009-12-04).
- Abbreviated options like `--dep=5` now work since parse_options()
allows unambiguous prefixes.
- As `--cat-blob` is an abbreviation of `--cat-blob-fd`, using the
former on the command line will fail with "option `cat-blob-fd'
requires a value" unlike the other four options that are not
accepted anymore on the command line (see above).
- The error messages for some options might differ a bit.
- The code is shorter and more standard.
Note that parse_one_feature() is now always called with its
`from_stream` argument set to 1, but the code simplifications that
can be made are left for a following clean-up commit.
