FWIW I came up with the below on top while testing this. I think your
patch series is fine and we should just take it as-is.

This edge case of "--no" behavior isn't something we support in any
sensible way already, so it can just be left for later.

But since I think I gave you some bad advice and WIP code (sorry!) early
on I think this is closer to a 1=1 mapping to parse-options.c behavior,
i.e. we split up "no" and "non-no" options, put them on either side of
the "--", but are careful to put /some/ "--no" options on the RHS.

This has at least one bug: A few options have e.g. --no-to= and --no-to,
so both "=" and "" forms.

There's also some unrelated fixes there, e.g. the existing
--dump-aliases behavior was kind of dumb for what it was trying to do,
and I changed it since it got in the way of hacking this up.
