This proposal is a generalisation of issue1431, which is to change a lot of our
options from the current --foo/--dont-foo or --foo/--no-foo to
--foo=yes/--foo=no (with either yes or no as possible defaults).

This would allow for such options to take more than two possible values and
could also condense our help output a bit.

I'm marking this as Provisional because I'm not sure it's actually a good idea
and may break a lot of tools that use darcs.
