update-index: migrate to parse-options API
--refresh and --really-refresh accept flags (like -q) and modify an error indicator. It might make sense to make the error indicator global, but just pass the flags and a pointer to the error indicator in a struct instead. --cacheinfo wants 3 arguments. Use the OPTION_LOWLEVEL_CALLBACK extension to grab them and PARSE_OPT_NOARG to disallow the "sticked" --cacheinfo=foo form. (The resulting message $ git update-index --cacheinfo=foo error: option `cacheinfo' takes no value is unfortunately incorrect.) --assume-unchanged and --no-assume-unchanged probably should use the OPT_UYN feature; but use a callback for now so the existing MARK_FLAG and UNMARK_FLAG values can be used. --stdin and --index-info are still constrained to be the last argument (implemented using the OPTION_LOWLEVEL_CALLBACK extension). --unresolve and --again consume all arguments that come after them (also using OPTION_LOWLEVEL_CALLBACK). The order of options matters. Each path on the command line is affected only by the options that come before it. A custom argument-parsing loop with parse_options_step() brings that about. In exchange for all the fuss, we get the usual perks: support for un-sticked options, better usage error messages, more useful -h output, and argument parsing code that should be easier to tweak in the future.
