Change commands in the "diff" family and "rev-list" to separate the usage information and option listing with an empty line. In the case of "git diff -h" we did this already (but let's use a consistent "\n" pattern there), for the rest these are now consistent with how the parse_options() API would emit usage. As we'll see in a subsequent commit this also helps to make the "git <cmd> -h" output more easily machine-readable, as we can assume that the usage usage information is separated from the options by an empty line.
