ls-files -h: show usage even with corrupt index

Part of a campaign to avoid git <command> -h being distracted by
access to the repository.  A caller hoping to use "git ls-files"
with an alternate index as part of a repair operation may well use
"git ls-files -h" to show usage while planning it out.

[jn: with rewritten log message and tests]
