From: Emily Shaffer <nasamuffin@xxxxxxxxxx>
git-bugreport already rejected unrecognized flag arguments, like
`--diaggnose`, but this doesn't help if the user's mistake was to forget
the `--` in front of the argument. This can result in a user's intended
argument not being parsed with no indication to the user that something
went wrong. Since git-bugreport presently doesn't take any positionals
at all, let's reject all positionals and give the user a usage hint.
