The in-tree getopt_long() moves each non-option to the end of argv,
which might put it right where an option's argument lookup expects
to find the argument. For example, "vacuumdb postgres --jobs"
takes "postgres" as the number of jobs instead of complaining that
--jobs is missing its argument. To fix, stop the argument lookups
at the start of the moved non-options, which we already track to
know when to stop scanning.
Oversight in commit 411b720343.
