parse-options: print "fatal:" before usage_msg_opt()
Programs may use usage_msg_opt() to print a brief message
followed by the program usage, and then exit. The message
isn't prefixed at all, though, so it doesn't match our usual
error output and is easy to overlook:
$ git clone 1 2 3
Too many arguments.
usage: git clone [<options>] [--] <repo> [<dir>]
-v, --verbose be more verbose
-q, --quiet be more quiet
--progress force progress reporting
-n, --no-checkout don't create a checkout
--bare create a bare repository
[...and so on for another 31 lines...]
It looks especially bad when the message starts with an
option, like:
$ git replace -e
-e needs exactly one argument
usage: git replace [-f] <object> <replacement>
or: git replace [-f] --edit <object>
[...etc...]
Let's put our usual "fatal:" prefix in front of it.
