Command-line parsing changes, and no irc by default #803

   I decided I’d typed “./bitcoind –nolisten” enough times to make command-line parsing work the way I think it should.

   Changes are:

   • Unit tests for the GetArg() methods
   • –foo=… is automatically interpreted as -foo=… (so you can use double-dashes if you like for all args)
   • Boolean arguments can be specified as either -foo (true) or -nofoo (false).
   • Internally, all boolean args are looked up using the positive form and default value (e.g. GetBoolArg("-dnsseed", true))
   • Tweaked the –help text
   • Default for -irc to bootstrap via IRC channel was changed from true to false

4. New GetArg features: allow --, and booleans can be -foo or -nofoo 3ad9f8a70f
5. Look for flushwallet/listen/irc/dnsseed/upnp instead of noflushwallet/etc. And switch default for irc to 0. 9d952d17bb
