[PATCH v2] status: -i shorthand for --ignored command line option

Unlike "-u', "-i" is supported by "git commit" which shares the
underlying implementation, and that is the historical reason why we
never had "-i" shorthand, I think.  

git-commit supports the -u flag, its meaning is the same as for
git-status. Although the -i flag might be confused with the --include
option of git-commit, I suggest this shortening based on first letter of
the --ignored option because git-status and git-commit are different
commands and it's more obvious shortening.

While I do understand why sometimes "-u" is useful, especially
"-uno", to help those whose .gitignore is not managed as well as it
should be, I am not sure why a "typical git-status" invocation would
ask for "--ignored" that often to require such a short-hand.

The --ignored option is often used for opposing purposes, to show all
changes in working directory regardless of .gitignore files which may be
written sloppy. I've discovered that I type this option quite
frequently, and I hope my case may help others.
