cat-file: make the options mutually exclusive

KarthikNayak · gitster · commit b48158ac94cf · 2015-05-06T13:35:48.000-07:00
We only parse the options if 2 or 3 arguments are specified.
Update 'struct option options[]' to use OPT_CMDMODE rather than
OPT_SET_INT to allow only one mutually exclusive option and avoid the
need for checking number of arguments. This was written by Junio C Hamano,
tested by me.
