parse-options: allow positivation of options starting, with no-

Browse Source 
Long options can be negated by adding no- right after the leading
two dashes. This is useful e.g. to override options set by aliases.

For options that are defined to start with no- already, this looks
a bit funny. Allow such options to also be negated by removing the
prefix.

The following thirteen options are affected:

	apply          --no-add
	bisect--helper --no-checkout
	checkout-index --no-create
	clone          --no-checkout --no-hardlinks
	commit         --no-verify   --no-post-rewrite
	format-patch   --no-binary
	hash-object    --no-filters
	read-tree      --no-sparse-checkout
	revert         --no-commit
	show-branch    --no-name
	update-ref     --no-deref

The following five are NOT affected because they are defined with
PARSE_OPT_NONEG or the non-negated version is defined as well:

	branch       --no-merged
	format-patch --no-stat             --no-numbered
	update-index --no-assume-unchanged --no-skip-worktree

@ -39,7 +39,8 @@ The parse-options API allows:
* Short options may be bundled, e.g. `-a -b` can be specified as `-ab`.
* Boolean long options can be 'negated' (or 'unset') by prepending
`no-`, e.g. `\--no-abbrev` instead of `\--abbrev`.
`no-`, e.g. `\--no-abbrev` instead of `\--abbrev`. Conversely,
options that begin with `no-` can be 'negated' by removing it.
* Options and non-option arguments can clearly be separated using the `\--`
option, e.g. `-a -b \--option \-- \--this-is-a-file` indicates that
