Before v1.5.6-rc1~41^2~2, the option parsing for diff --no-index and "git diff-files" shared code. In "git diff-files", "-q" means to be silent about removed files. In "git diff --no-index", in various versions it has been an error, an infinite loop, or a no-op. Simplify the code to clarify that it is now a no-op, continuing to accept and ignore the -q option in "git diff --no-index" to avoid breaking scripts.
