Pierre Habouzit dd3bf0f4a5 parse-options: Allow to hide options from the default usage.
This is useful for backward-compatibility aliases, or very advanced command
line switches introduced for internal git usages and have no real use for a
user.

parse-options still shows them if the user asks for --help-all.
