diff-no-index: correctly diagnose error return from diff_opt_parse()
diff_opt_parse() returns the number of options parsed, or often
returns error() which is defined to return -1. Yes, return value of
0 is "I did not process that option at all", which should cause the
caller to say that, but negative return should not be forgotten.
This bug caused "diff --no-index" to infinitely show the same error
message because the returned value was used to decrement the loop
control variable, e.g.
$ git diff --no-index --color=words a b
error: option `color' expects "always", "auto", or "never"
error: option `color' expects "always", "auto", or "never"
...
Instead, make it act like so:
$ git diff --no-index --color=words a b
error: option `color' expects "always", "auto", or "never"
fatal: invalid diff option/value: --color=words
