Use getopt_long() for the first pass through the argument list.
That way: 1) we don't have to worry about the system getopt() and our getopt_long(), on platforms that have getopt() but not getopt_long() (Solaris prior to Solaris 10, HP-UX, AIX), not working well together; 2) if necessary, we can handle long options in the first pass. Switch to using getopt_long() for the *second* pass for the GTK+ version of Wireshark. Use the documented mechanism for resetting the argument parser for the glibc version of getopt_long(); use the mostly-undocumented-but-at-least- they-documented-optreset mechanism for the *BSD version. (We should look into doing only one pass, saving away arguments that can't fully be processed in the first pass for further processing after initializing libwireshark.)
