fast-import: add option command
This allows the frontend to specify any of the supported options as
long as no non-option command has been given. This way the
user does not have to include any frontend-specific options, but
instead she can rely on the frontend to tell fast-import what it
needs.
Also factor out parsing of argv and have it execute when we reach the
first non-option command, or after all commands have been read and
no non-option command has been encountered.
Non-git options are ignored, unrecognised options result in an error.
