[PATCH] getopt: Add support for '--' to stop option parsing

[PATCH] getopt: Add support for '--' to stop option parsing

[Sascha Hauer]

In some cases when commands have optional arguments it is necessary
to explicitly stop option parsing after the last nonpositonal option.
Add support for '--' to accomplish this as done in getopt(3) aswell.
