Refactor the "goto usage" pattern added in
cd57bc41bbc (builtin/multi-pack-index.c: display usage on unrecognized
command, 2021-03-30) to maintain the same brevity, but doesn't run
afoul of the recommendation in CodingGuidelines about braces:

    When there are multiple arms to a conditional and some of them
    require braces, enclose even a single line block in braces for
    consistency[...]

Let's also change "argv == 0" to juts "!argv", per:

    Do not explicitly compare an integral value with constant 0 or
    '\0', or a pointer value with constant NULL[...]

I'm changing this because in a subsequent commit I'll make
builtin/commit-graph.c use the same pattern, having the two similarly
structured commands match aids readability.

Not the fault of this patch, but since we jump to this from the "if
(!argc)" conditional, reading "argv[0]" is UB. Some compilers will print
out:

    error: unrecognized subcommand: (null)

which at least doesn't segfault, but is still ugly. I don't mind calling
it ugly since I was the one to introduce this behavior (by accident, of
course).

I sent a patch [1] yesterday to squash this, but we should consider
combining the two (or dropping this patch from the series and then
coming back to it later on).

If you want to combine forces, here's what I think that could look like
(without your s-o-b, which you'll have to reattach).

Subject: [PATCH] multi-pack-index: refactor "goto usage" pattern

Refactor the "goto usage" pattern added in
cd57bc41bbc (builtin/multi-pack-index.c: display usage on unrecognized
command, 2021-03-30) to maintain the same brevity, but doesn't run
afoul of the recommendation in CodingGuidelines about braces:

    When there are multiple arms to a conditional and some of them
    require braces, enclose even a single line block in braces for
    consistency[...]

Let's also change "argv == 0" to juts "!argv", per:

    Do not explicitly compare an integral value with constant 0 or
    '\0', or a pointer value with constant NULL[...]

I'm changing this because in a subsequent commit I'll make
builtin/commit-graph.c use the same pattern, having the two similarly
structured commands match aids readability.

While here, fix an issue since where cd57bc41bb
(builtin/multi-pack-index.c: display usage on unrecognized command,
2021-03-30) we sometimes jump to 'usage' without any arguments.

Many compilers will save us from a segfault here, but the end result is
ugly, since it mentions an unrecognized subcommand when we didn't even
pass one, and (on GCC) includes "(null)" in its output.

Move the "usage" label down past the error about unrecognized
subcommands so that it is only triggered when it should be. While we're
at it, bulk up our test coverage in this area, too.
