[PATCH v2 0/8] Do not use abbreviated options in tests

We do not want to have tests that need to be changed by completely unrelated patch series, just because abbreviations that used to be unique are being made non-unique by said patch series.

I stumbled over this while investigating the test failures in dl/rebase-i-keep-base [https://dev.azure.com/gitgitgadget/git/_build/results?buildId=5482&view=ms.vss-test-web.build-test-results-tab] : the new --keep-base option makes the --keep abbreviation of --keep-empty in t5407 non-unique, which causes the test suite to fail.

Changes since v1:
 * Fixed a typo ("expaneded") in the last commit message.
 * Added a regression test for the GIT_TEST_DISALLOW_ABBREVIATED_OPTIONS 
   handling.
 * Adjusted the code in test-lib.sh that makes sure that this variable is
   set: it is now consistent with the way we do similar things in that file
   already.
Johannes Schindelin (8):
  tests (rebase): spell out the `--keep-empty` option
  tests (rebase): spell out the `--force-rebase` option
  t7810: do not abbreviate `--no-exclude-standard` nor `--invert-match`
  t5531: avoid using an abbreviated option
  tests (push): do not abbreviate the `--follow-tags` option
  tests (status): spell out the `--find-renames` option in full
  tests (pack-objects): use the full, unabbreviated `--revs` option
  tests: disallow the use of abbreviated options (by default)
