The cherry-pick and revert commands use OPT_INTEGER() to
parse --mainline. The stock parser is smart enough to reject
non-numeric nonsense, but it doesn't know that parent
counting starts at 1.
Worse, the value "0" is indistinguishable from the unset
case, so a user who assumes the counting is 0-based will get
a confusing message:
$ git cherry-pick -m 0 $merge
error: commit ... is a merge but no -m option was given.
Let's use a custom callback that enforces our range.

The "cherry-pick persists opts correctly" test in t3510
(cherry-pick-sequence) can cause some confusion, because the command
actually has two points of failure:
1. "-m 1" is specified on the command-line despite the base commit
"initial" not being a merge-commit.
2. The revision range indicates that there will be a conflict that
needs to be resolved.
Although the former error is trapped, and cherry-pick die()s with the
exit status 128, the reader may be distracted by the latter. Fix this
by changing the revision range to something that wouldn't cause a
conflict. Additionally, explicitly check the exit code in
"cherry-pick a non-merge with -m should fail" in t3502
(cherry-pick-merge) to reassure the reader that this failure has
nothing to do with the sequencer itself.

This patch changes every occurrence of "! git" -- with the meaning
that a git call has to gracefully fail -- into "test_must_fail git".
This is useful to
- make sure the test does not fail because of a signal,
e.g. SIGSEGV, and
- advertise the use of "test_must_fail" for new tests.

On a case insensitive file system, this test fails because git-diff
doesn't know if it is asking for the file "A" or the tag "a".
Adding "--" at the end of the ambiguous commands allows the test to
finish properly.
