parse-options: make OPT_ARGUMENT() more useful
`OPT_ARGUMENT()` is intended to keep the specified long option in `argv` and not to do anything else. However, it would make a lot of sense for the caller to know whether this option was seen at all or not. For example, we want to teach `git difftool` to work outside of any Git worktree, but only when `--no-index` was specified. Note: nothing in Git uses OPT_ARGUMENT(). Even worse, looking through the commit history, one can easily see that nothing even ever used it, apart from the regression test. So not only do we make `OPT_ARGUMENT()` more useful, we are also about to introduce its first real user!
