Replace getopt_long() with custom implementation.
getopt_long() requires an exhaustive list of all possible options that may be found on the command line. Because of the way options are indexed (e.g. repo1-4, pg1-8) optionList[] has 827 entries and we have kept it small by curtailing the maximum indexes very severely. Another issue is that getopt_long() scans the array sequentially so parsing gets slower as the index maximums increase.

Replace getopt_long() with a custom implementation that behaves the same but allows options to be parsed with a function instead of using optionList[]. This commit leaves the list in place in order to focus on the getopt_long() replacement, but cfgParseOption() could be replaced with a more efficient implementation that removes the need for optionList[].

This implementation also fixes an issue where invalid options were misreported in the error message if they only had one dash, e.g. -config. This seems to have been some kind of problem in getopt_long(), but no investigation was done since the new implementation fixes it.

Tests were added at 0825428, 2b8d2da, 34dd663, and 384f247 to check that previously untested getopt_long() behavior doesn't change.
