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.
