parse-options.c: make OPTION_COUNTUP respect "unspecified" values
OPT_COUNTUP() merely increments the counter upon --option, and resets it to 0 upon --no-option, which means that there is no "unspecified" value with which a client can initialize the counter to determine whether or not --[no]-option was seen at all. Make OPT_COUNTUP() treat any negative number as an "unspecified" value to address this shortcoming. In particular, if a client initializes the counter to -1, then if it is still -1 after parse_options(), then neither --option nor --no-option was seen; if it is 0, then --no-option was seen last, and if it is 1 or greater, than --option was seen last. This change does not affect the behavior of existing clients because they all use the initial value of 0 (or more). Note that builtin/clean.c initializes the variable used with OPT__FORCE (which uses OPT_COUNTUP()) to a negative value, but it is set to either 0 or 1 by reading the configuration before the code calls parse_options(), i.e. as far as parse_options() is concerned, the initial value of the variable is not negative. To test this behavior, in test-parse-options.c, "verbose" is set to "unspecified" while quiet is set to 0 which will test the new behavior with all sets of values.
