Application complains about invalid options if options are given

[Alberto Mardegan]

Passing options to applications make the application complain about unrecognized options.
For example:

============
$ system-settings -testability --desktop_file_hint=/usr/share/applications/ubuntu-system-settings.desktop
system-settings: invalid option -- 't'
system-settings: invalid option -- 'e'
system-settings: invalid option -- 's'
system-settings: invalid option -- 't'
system-settings: invalid option -- 'a'
system-settings: invalid option -- 'b'
system-settings: invalid option -- 'i'
system-settings: invalid option -- 'l'
system-settings: invalid option -- 'i'
system-settings: invalid option -- 't'
system-settings: invalid option -- 'y'
============

QUbuntu should just ignore any option it doesn't recognize.

I can reproduce this on the phone with image 100.

The app needs --desktop_file_hint to start.

[Alexandre Abreu (abreu-alexandre)]

It comes from the platformapi that tries to catch the sidestage/desktop_hint etc. parameters before delegating the rest to the app ...

getopts_long emits the warning,
