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.
