Derrick Stolee 46d1f4cf4d t5620: test backfill's unknown argument handling ...

Before the recent changes to parse rev-list arguments inside of 'git
backfill', the builtin would take arbitrary arguments without complaint (and
ignore them). This was noticed and a patch was sent [1] which motivates
this change.

Note that the revision machinery can output an "ambiguous argument"
warning if a value not starting with '--' is found and doesn't make
sense as a reference or a pathspec. For unrecognized arguments starting
with '--' we need to add logic into builtin/backfill.c to catch leftover
arguments.
