[PATCH 7/7] update-index -h: show usage even with corrupt index

[Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com>]

From: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com>

When trying to fix up a corrupt repository, one might prefer that
"update-index -h" print an accurate usage message and exit rather
than reading the repository and complaining about the corruption.

[jn: with rewritten log message and tests]
