The standard philosophy for Unix software when a help option (such as --help) is specified is that the software should exit 0, printing the help output to standard output, since the standard output is for user-requested output and the program performed the requested task successfully. If the user specifies an incorrect option, then the help output should be printed to standard error (since the user has made a mistake) and it should exit unsuccessfully. Most of our commands currently exit 129 on receiving the -h option to print the short help, which does not line up with the standard philosophy above. Let's change that to exit 0 instead. This requires changes to a variety of tests which previously wanted the 129 exit code, so update them. Note that because git diff does its own option parsing, it still exits with 129, so update some of the tests to expect either exit status. Some commands also now pass with -h but not --help-all, so handle those cases differently for those commands.
