In 73c3253d75e (bundle: framework for options before bundle file, 2019-11-10) the "git bundle" command was refactored to use parse_options(). In that refactoring it started understanding the "--verbose" flag before the subcommand, e.g.:

    git bundle --verbose verify --quiet

However, nothing ever did anything with this "verbose" variable, and the change wasn't documented. It appears to have been something that escaped the lab, and wasn't flagged by reviewers at the time. Let's just remove it.

As a follow-up to the discussion at https://lore.kernel.org/git/87zgs593ja.fsf@evledraar.gmail.com/ I looked at whether any other subcommands accepted "git cmd [opts] subcommand", here's another special-case we can safely remove.

Perhaps this was from an earlier version of https://lore.kernel.org/git/20191110204126.30553-1-robbat2@gentoo.org/, but I could not find v1 and v2.
