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

ACK
Unit tests for the GetArg() methods 3ae0735553
New GetArg features: allow --, and booleans can be -foo or -nofoo 3ad9f8a70f
Look for flushwallet/listen/irc/dnsseed/upnp instead of noflushwallet/etc. And switch default for irc to 0. 9d952d17bb
