Subject: [PATCH] getopt: add support for non-option arguments

Currently getopt() doesn't handle the GNU getopt extension that allows
to parse non-option arguments when optstring starts with '-'.

This extensions is used by some common utilities, notably iptables, that
currently return with errors even with perfectly valid invocations, for
example:

$ iptables -A INPUT -p tcp ! --syn -m state --state NEW -j DROP

The patch add the code needed to implement this extension to getopt.c
and getopt_long.c
