Subject: [PATCH 1/2] fix getopt_long arguments to partial matches

If we find a partial option name match, we need to keep looking for
ambiguous/conflicting options. However, we need to remember the position
in the candidate argument to find its option-argument later, if there is
one. This fixes e.g. option "foobar" being given as "--fooba=baz".
