parse-options: print "fatal:" before usage_msg_opt()

Programs may use usage_msg_opt() to print a brief message
followed by the program usage, and then exit. The message
isn't prefixed at all, though, so it doesn't match our usual
error output and is easy to overlook:

    $ git clone 1 2 3
    Too many arguments.

    usage: git clone [<options>] [--] <repo> [<dir>]

    -v, --verbose         be more verbose
    -q, --quiet           be more quiet
    --progress            force progress reporting
    -n, --no-checkout     don't create a checkout
    --bare                create a bare repository
    [...and so on for another 31 lines...]

It looks especially bad when the message starts with an
option, like:

    $ git replace -e
    -e needs exactly one argument

    usage: git replace [-f] <object> <replacement>
       or: git replace [-f] --edit <object>
    [...etc...]

Let's put our usual "fatal:" prefix in front of it.
