always set optarg in getopt_long

the standard getopt does not touch optarg unless processing an option
with an argument. however, programs using the GNU getopt API, which we
attempt to provide in getopt_long, expect optarg to be a null pointer
after processing an option without an argument.

before argument permutation support was added, such programs typically
detected its absence and used their own replacement getopt_long,
masking the discrepency in behavior.
