Bug Description

The xtrabackup binary accepts arguments which are not options, i.e. prefixed with '--'. For example:

xtrabackup --backup backup_dir

succeeds and creates a backup in the ./xtrabackup_backupfiles directory instead of backup_dir.

Such invalid syntax is error prone and should be rejected.
