Add a mechanism for recording *all* command line args.

Browse Source 
This should allow programs to report bad command line arguments
(such as --i-am-not-an-option) and still keep going, if they wish.

library/getopt_io.m:
    Add record_all_arguments, a version of the existing record_arguments
    predicate that processes the entire command line even in the presence
    of errors.

    To make this possible, rewrite record_arguments' existing code
    to separate out the handling of individual options from the code
    that decides whether to stop processing. The code of both
    record_arguments and record_all_arguments is now a thin veneer
    on top of the new record_argument (singular) predicate, which
    does the first job above. The separation of concerns and the new,
    documented data structures should also make the new code easier
    to understand.

library/getopt.m:
    Automatic copy of the new getopt_io.m.

NEWS.md:
    Announce the new predicate.

RELEASE_NOTES_NEXT:
    Add a reminder about deleting getopt_io.m.
