parse-options: make some arguments optional, add callbacks.
* add the possibility to use callbacks to parse some options, this can
help implementing new options kinds with great flexibility. struct option
gains a callback pointer and a `defval' where callbacks user can put
either integers or pointers. callbacks also can use the `value' pointer
for anything, preferably to the pointer to the final storage for the value
though.
* add a `flag' member to struct option to make explicit that this option may
have an optional argument. The semantics depends on the option type. For
INTEGERS, it means that if the switch is not used in its
--long-form=<value> form, and that there is no token after it or that the
token does not starts with a digit, then it's assumed that the switch has
no argument. For STRING or CALLBACK it works the same, except that the
condition is that the next atom starts with a dash. This is needed to
implement backward compatible behaviour with existing ways to parse the
command line. Its use for new options is discouraged.
