Change the errors added in d35d03cf93e (help: simplify by moving to OPT_CMDMODE(), 2021-09-22) to quote the offending option at the user when invoked as e.g.: git help --guides garbage Now instead of: fatal: this option doesn't take any other arguments We'll emit: fatal: the '--guides' option doesn't take any non-option arguments Let's also rename the function, as it will be extended to do other checks that aren't "no extra argc" in a subsequent commit.
