The short-help text shown by "git cmd -h" and the synopsis text
shown at the beginning of "git help cmd" have been made more
consistent.

The whitespace padding of alternatives should be of the form "[-f |
--force]" not "[-f|--force]". Likewise we should not have padding
before the first option, so "(--all | <pack-filename>...)" is correct,
not "( --all | <pack-filename>... )".

Fix the incorrect "[-o | --option <argument>]" syntax, which should be
"[(-o | --option) <argument>]", we were previously claiming that only
the long option accepted the "<argument>", which isn't what we meant.
This syntax issue for "bugreport" originated in
238b439d69 (bugreport: add tool to generate debugging info,
2020-04-16), and for "diagnose" in 6783fd3cef (builtin/diagnose.c:
create 'git diagnose' builtin, 2022-08-12), which copied and adjusted
"bugreport" documentation and code.
In the case of "Documentation/git-stash.txt" and "builtin/stash.c"
this is not a "doc txt & -h consistency" change, as we're changing
both versions, doing so here makes a subsequent change smaller.
In that case fix the incorrect "[-o | --option <argument>]" syntax,
which should be "[(-o | --option) <argument>]", we were previously
claiming that only the long option accepted the "<argument>", which
isn't what we meant.
The "stash" issue has been with us in both the "-h" and *.txt versions
since bd514cada4 (stash: introduce 'git stash store', 2013-06-15).
We could claim that this isn't a syntax issue if a "vertical bar binds
tighter than option and its argument", but such a rule would change
e.g. this "cat-file" SYNOPSIS example to mean something we don't:
... [<rev>:<path|tree-ish> | --path=<path|tree-ish> <rev>]
We have various other examples where the post-image here is already
used, e.g. for "format-patch" ("-o"), "grep" ("-m"),
"submodule" ("set-branch -b") etc.

Change the documentation and -h output for those built-in commands
where both the -h output and *.txt were lacking in word-wrapping.
There are many more built-ins that could use this treatment, this
change is narrowed to those where this whitespace change is needed to
make the -h and *.txt consistent in the end.
In the case of "Documentation/git-hash-object.txt" and
"builtin/hash-object.c" this is not a "doc txt & -h consistency"
change, as we're changing both versions, doing so here makes a
subsequent change smaller.

These strings are not translatable in the diagnose_options array in
diagnose.c. Don't translate them in builtin/diagnose.c either.

Create '--mode=<mode>' option in 'git diagnose' to allow users to optionally
select non-default diagnostic information to include in the output archive.
Additionally, document the currently-available modes, emphasizing the
importance of not sharing a '--mode=all' archive publicly due to the
presence of sensitive information.
Note that the option parsing callback - 'option_parse_diagnose()' - is added
to 'diagnose.c' rather than 'builtin/diagnose.c' so that it may be reused in
future callers configuring a diagnostics archive.

Create a 'git diagnose' builtin to generate a standalone zip archive of
repository diagnostics.
The "diagnose" functionality was originally implemented for Scalar in
aa5c79a331 (scalar: implement `scalar diagnose`, 2022-05-28). However, the
diagnostics gathered are not specific to Scalar-cloned repositories and
can be useful when diagnosing issues in any Git repository.
