Reorganize long option values
For long options, without corresponding short options, to be processed they need to be assigned a value, preferably outside of the range of all possible short options. The code in various places tries to stay clear of these low values, but further coordination is missing, easily leading to issues when option processing code gets extended and/or reorganized. This change introduces a single location from where each catagory of command line long option can derive a base value, which should minimize potential option value collisions.
