t/t1517: automate git subcmd -h tests outside a repository

Replace manual `-h` tests with a loop over all subcommands using
`git --list-cmds=main`. This ensures consistent coverage of `-h`
behavior outside a repo and future-proofs the test by covering
new commands automatically.

Known exceptions are skipped or marked as expected failures.
