rev-parse: remove restrictions on some options

The "--local-env-vars" and "--resolve-git-dir" arguments to
git-rev-parse are currently only handled if they appear first on the
command line (in the case of "--local-env-vars", only if it is the only
argument).  While it may not make sense to use these options when any
others are specified, there is no reason for this restriction and it
might confuse users if these arguments appear to be ignored.

There is no need for any documentation change here as the restrictions
on these options are not documented.

rev-parse(1): logically group options

The options section of the git-rev-parse manual page has grown
organically so that there now does not seem to be much logic behind the
ordering of the options.  It also does not make it clear that certain
options must appear first on the command line.

Address this by reorganising the options into groups with subheadings.
The text of option descriptions does not change.

Merge branch 'jc/simple-add-must-be-a-no-op'

This detected a mismerge of one of "add-2.0" topics to the 'jch'
and 'pu' branches.

* jc/simple-add-must-be-a-no-op:
  t2202: make sure "git add" (no args) stays a no-op
Merge branch 'mm/color-auto-default'

A finishing touch to fix breakage to "add -e" caused by defaulting
ui.color to "auto".

* mm/color-auto-default:
  git add -e: Explicitly specify that patch should have no color
Merge branch 'tr/fd-gotcha-fixes'

Two places we did not check return value (expected to be a file
descriptor) correctly.

* tr/fd-gotcha-fixes:
  run-command: dup_devnull(): guard against syscalls failing
  git_mkstemps: correctly test return value of open()
Merge branch 'jc/mailmap-case-insensitivity'

The mailmap mechanism unnecessarily downcased the e-mail addresses
in the output, and also ignored the human name when it is a single
character name.

This now has become Eric Sunshine's series, even though it still is
under jc/ hierarchy.

* jc/mailmap-case-insensitivity:
  mailmap: style fixes
  mailmap: debug: avoid passing NULL to fprintf() '%s' conversion specification
  mailmap: debug: eliminate -Wformat field precision type warning
  mailmap: debug: fix malformed fprintf() format conversion specification
  mailmap: debug: fix out-of-order fprintf() arguments
  mailmap: do not downcase mailmap entries
  t4203: demonstrate loss of uppercase characters in canonical email
  mailmap: do not lose single-letter names
  t4203: demonstrate loss of single-character name in mailmap entry
Merge branch 'dw/request-pull-diag'

* dw/request-pull-diag:
  request-pull: improve error message for invalid revision args
Merge branch 'mm/diff-no-patch-synonym-to-s'

"git show -s" was less discoverable than it should be.

* mm/diff-no-patch-synonym-to-s:
  Documentation/git-log.txt: capitalize section names
  Documentation: move description of -s, --no-patch to diff-options.txt
  Documentation/git-show.txt: include common diff options, like git-log.txt
  diff: allow --patch & cie to override -s/--no-patch
  diff: allow --no-patch as synonym for -s
  t4000-diff-format.sh: modernize style
Merge branch 'tr/do-not-call-submodules-subprojects'

* tr/do-not-call-submodules-subprojects:
  show-branch: fix description of --date-order
  apply, entry: speak of submodules instead of subprojects
Merge branch 'sb/parse-object-buffer-eaten'

* sb/parse-object-buffer-eaten:
  parse_object_buffer: correct freeing the buffer
Merge branch 'tr/protect-low-3-fds'

When "git" is spawned in such a way that any of the low 3 file
descriptors is closed, our first open() may yield file descriptor 2,
and writing error message to it would screw things up in a big way.

* tr/protect-low-3-fds:
  git: ensure 0/1/2 are open in main()
  daemon/shell: refactor redirection of 0/1/2 from /dev/null
Merge branch 'es/blame-L-breakage'

The refactoring made for parsing "-L" option recently to support
"git log -L" seems to have broken "git blame -L X,-5" to show 5
lines leading to X.

* es/blame-L-breakage:
  blame-options.txt: explain that -L <start> and <end> are optional
  blame-options.txt: place each -L option variation on its own line
  t8001/t8002 (blame): add blame -L :funcname tests
  t8001/t8002 (blame): add blame -L tests
  t8001/t8002 (blame): modernize style
  line-range: fix "blame -L X,-N" regression
Merge branch 'db/show-ref-head'

The "--head" option to "git show-ref" was only to add "HEAD" to the
list of candidate refs to be filtered by the usual rules
(e.g. "--heads" that only show refs under refs/heads).  Change the
meaning of the option to always show "HEAD" regardless of what
filtering will be applied to any other ref (this is a backward
incompatible change, so I may need to add an entry to the Release
Notes).

* db/show-ref-head:
  show-ref: make --head always show the HEAD ref
Merge branch 'jk/gcc-function-attributes'

Use the function attributes extension to catch mistakes in use of
our own variadic functions that use NULL sentinel at the end
(i.e. like execl(3)) and format strings (i.e. like printf(3)).

* jk/gcc-function-attributes:
  Add the LAST_ARG_MUST_BE_NULL macro
  wt-status: use "format" function attribute for status_printf
  use "sentinel" function attribute for variadic lists
  add missing "format" function attributes
Merge branch 'nd/const-struct-cache-entry'

* nd/const-struct-cache-entry:
  Convert "struct cache_entry *" to "const ..." wherever possible
Merge branch 'jk/t0008-sigpipe-fix'

Fix for recent test breakage on 'master'.

* jk/t0008-sigpipe-fix:
  t0008: avoid SIGPIPE race condition on fifo
