Subject: [PATCH] archive: "--list" does not take further options

This looks fine to me. It does mean that this sequence of commands no
longer works:

  [let's try to make a "foo" archive]
  $ git archive --format=foo HEAD
  fatal: Unknown archive format 'foo'

  [oops, that didn't work. What formats are supported?]
  $ !! --list
  git archive --format=foo HEAD --list
  tar
  tgz
  tar.gz
  zip

I think that's OK in practice. The increased error checking is worth it
(and matches many other commands, which tend to warn about confusing
extra bits).
