git-archive: add '-o' as a alias for '--output'
The '-o' option is commonly used in many tools to specify the output file. Typing '--output' every time is a bit too long to be a practical alternative to redirecting output. But specifying the output name has the advantage of making possible to guess the desired output format by filename extension.
