The PARSE_OPT_LITERAL_ARGHELP flag allows a program to override the
standard "<argument> for mandatory, [argument] for optional" markup in
its help message. Extend it to override the usual "no text for
disallowed", too (for the PARSE_OPT_NOARG | PARSE_OPT_LITERAL_ARGHELP
case, which was previously meaningless), to be more intuitive.

The motivation is to allow update-index to correctly advertise

--cacheinfo <mode> <object> <path>
add the specified entry to the index

while abusing PARSE_OPT_NOARG to disallow the "sticked form"

--cacheinfo=<mode> <object> <path>
