Fail if options have extra parameters [v2]
Throw an error if an option has extra parameters; previously they
were silently ignored (see also trac #557)
This feature was discussed on the openvpn-devel mailing list
(http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.network.openvpn.devel/9599).
The (modified) message "Unrecognized option or missing or extra
parameter(s)" is used except for a few options:
* The --help option: An extra parameter for --help generates a
specific error message after showing the syntax message. This
is done to help a user who tries "--help tls-cipher" or similar,
hoping to get more information about the "tls-cipher" option.
* The --dhcp-option option: It has its own similar message, into
which " or extra" has been inserted.
* Ten options such as --up that accept a command (instead of a
path) already detect extra parameters and generate specific
error messages that mention double-quoting commands which
contain embedded spaces.
