rev-parse: add helper for parsing "--foo/--foo="

We can't just use a bare skip_prefix() for these cases,
because we need to match both the "--foo" form and the
"--foo=<value>" form (and tell the difference between the
two in the caller).

We can wrap this in a simple helper which has two obvious
callsites, and will gain some more in the next patch.

Note that the error output for abbrev-ref changes slightly,
as we don't keep our original "arg" pointer. However, the
new output should hopefully be more clear:

  [before]
  fatal: unknown mode for --abbrev-ref=foo

  [after]
  fatal: unknown mode for --abbrev-ref: foo
