The strings in the the "usagestr" array have special handling for the empty string dating back to f389c808b67 (Rework make_usage to print the usage message immediately, 2007-10-14).
We'll prefix all strings after the first one with "or: ". Then if we encountered a "" we'll emit all strings after that point verbatim without any "or: " prefixing.
In the preceding commits we got rid of the two users of this undocumented part of the API. Let's remove it in preparation for improving the output emitted by usage_with_options_internal().
I think we might want to use this in the future, but in that case we'll be much better off with an API that emulates the non-parse_options() way that git.c does this.
That git.c code uses a separate "git_usage_string" and "git_more_info_string". See b7d9681974e (Print info about "git help COMMAND" on git's main usage pages, 2008-06-06). By splitting the two up we can emit something in the middle, as indeed git.c does.
I'd like our "git <cmd> -h" info to be more helpful, and I'd also like parse_options() to handle the "git" command itself, because of the limitations of how this was done in usage_with_options_internal() we couldn't migrate a caller like git.c to parse_options().
So let's just remove this for now, it has no users, and once we want to do this again we can simply add another argument to the relevant functions, or otherwise hook into things so that we can print something at the end and/or middle.
It's possible that this change introduce breakage somewhere. We'd only catch these cases at runtime, and the "git rev-parse --parseopt" command is used by shellscripts, see bac199b7b17 (Update git-sh-setup(1) to allow transparent use of git-rev-parse --parseopt, 2007-11-04). I've grepped the codebase for "OPTIONS_SPEC", "char.*\*.*usage\[\]" etc. I'm fairly sure there no outstanding users of this functionality.
