parse-options already knows how to read into a string_list, and it knows
how to read into an strvec as a passthrough (that is, including the
argument as well as its value). string_list and strvec serve similar
purposes but are somewhat painful to convert between; so, let's teach
parse-options to read values of string arguments directly into an
strvec without preserving the argument name.

This is useful if collecting generic arguments to pass through to
another command, for example, 'git hook run --arg "--quiet" --arg
"--format=pretty" some-hook'. The resulting strvec would contain
{ "--quiet", "--format=pretty" }.

The implementation is based on that of OPT_STRING_LIST.

An alternative is to use OPT_STRING_LIST and then convert in the
caller.  One advantage of that is that it would guarantee the behavior
with --no-arg etc is going to match exactly.

I prefer this OPT_STRVEC approach nonetheless.  Can the
parse_opt_strvec and parse_opt_string_list functions get comments
pointing to each other as an alternative way to encourage that kind of
consistency?

nit: this should be OPT_STRVEC

Thanks,

Sigh.  I thought I caught all of these with a SQUASH fix-up patch
the last round.  Thanks for being extra careful.
