René Scharfe cd52d9e90f parse-options: allow omitting option help text ...

1b68387e02 (builtin/receive-pack.c: use parse_options API, 2016-03-02)
added the options --stateless-rpc, --advertise-refs and
--reject-thin-pack-for-testing with a NULL `help` string; 03831ef7b5
(difftool: implement the functionality in the builtin, 2017-01-19)
similarly added the "helpless" option --prompt.  Presumably this was
done because all four options are hidden and self-explanatory.

They cause a NULL pointer dereference when using the option --help-all
with their respective tool, though.  Handle such options gracefully
instead by turning the NULL pointer into an empty string at the top of
the loop, always printing a newline at the end and passing through the
separating newlines from the help text.
