help: add --no-[external-commands|aliases] for use with --all
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Add the ability to only emit git's own usage information under
--all. This also allows us to extend the "test_section_spacing" tests
added in a preceding commit to test "git help --all"
output.

Previously we could not do that, as the tests might find a git-*
command in the "$PATH", which would make the output differ from one
setup to another.
