[PATCH v3 1/6] parse-options: add show_usage_help_and_exit_if_asked()

[Junio C Hamano <gitster@xxxxxxxxx>]

Many commands call usage_with_options() when they are asked to give
the help message, but it incorrectly sends the help text to the
standard error stream.  When the user asked for it with "git cmd -h",
the help message is the primary output from the command, hence we
should send it to the standard output stream.

Introduce a helper function that captures the common pattern

	if (argc == 2 && !strcmp(argv[1], "-h"))
		usage_with_options(usage, options);

and replaces it with

	show_usage_help_and_exit_if_asked(argc, argv, usage, options);

to help correct code paths (there are 40 or so of them).

Note that this helper function still exits with status 129, and
t0012 insists on it.  After converting all the mistaken callers of
usage_with_options() to call this new helper, we may want to address
it---the end user is asking us to give the help text, and we are
doing exactly as asked, so there is no reason to exit with non-zero
status.
