[PATCH 6/6] apply, ls-files: simplify "-z" parsing

As a short option, we cannot handle negation. Thus a callback handling "unset" is overkill, and we can just use OPT_SET_INT instead to handle setting the option.

I left this one for last, because it's the most questionable. Unlike the
previous "-z" case, we're setting the actual character, so the logic is
inverted: turning on the option sets it to 0, and turning it off restore
'\n'.

This means OPT_SET_INT would do the wrong thing for the "unset" case, as it would put a "0" into the option. You can't trigger that now, but if somebody were to add a long option (e.g., "--nul"), then "--no-nul" would do the wrong thing.

I'm on the fence on whether the simplification is worth it, or if we should leave the callbacks as future-proofing.
