add, update-index: fix --chmod argument help

rscharfe · gitster · commit 8b5ebbed0e79 · 2018-08-03T08:36:20.000-07:00
Don't translate the argument specification for --chmod; "+x" and "-x"
are the literal strings that the commands accept.

Separate alternatives using a pipe character instead of a slash, for
consistency.

Use the flag PARSE_OPT_LITERAL_ARGHELP to prevent parseopt from adding a
pair of angular brackets around the argument help string, as that would
wrongly indicate that users need to replace the literal strings with
some kind of value.
