pkg: clarify argument parsing
Currently pkg parses all arguments and subcommands in a single getopt_long() loop. This results in quite a bit of accidental complexity, especially around the -r option for the bootstrap and add subcommands. This also results in the undocumented behavior of all options understood by pkg(7) being accepted anywhere in the argument list regardless of their position. This contradicts the behavior of pkg(8) and I find it quite unexpected. This patch splits the argument parsing done by pkg(7) into two phases for global options and subcommand options. This gives behavior that matches pkg(8), accepting the subset of pkg(8) options supported by pkg(7) in the exact same positions that pkg(8) accepts them. This is however a somewhat breaking change, as options are no longer accepted by pkg(7) in places they are rejected by pkg(8). For example, `pkg -f bootstrap` no longer works, only `pkg bootstrap -f`. The original motivation for writing this patch was investigating support for --rootdir in pkg(7). Since pkg(8) uses -r as the short form for both --rootdir and --repository depending on the position, I decided that pkg(7) needed to be brought inline with pkg(8)'s argument parsing behavior to avoid confusion. This patch also gets rid of args_add_message (unused since 40b9f924b1) Relnotes: yes Reviewed by: bapt Sponsored by: The FreeBSD Foundation Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D49977
