Thanks for the cleanup, it was needed.

This is to be able to use all short options, not sure if this requires a
comment.

Can it be constant?

In original version "auto-start" long version is enabled only if
'RTE_LIB_CMDLINE' enabled, not sure why, but not for short version, I
think there is a confusion.

OK to remove RTE_LIB_CMDLINE requirement for 'auto-start' but perhaps
better to have it in separate patch, what do you think?

What about using 'no_argument' & 'required_argument' instead of '0' &
'1', but I guess it will make lines too big,
as flag will be always NULL in this approach, what about defining macros
for arg and no_arg, like:
```
#define ARG(name) (name), required_argument, NULL, name##_NUM
#define NOARG(name) (name), no_argument, NULL, name##_NUM
#define OPTARG(name) (name), optional_argument, NULL, name##_NUM

{ NOARG(TESTPMD_OPT_INTERACTIVE) },
{ ARG(TESTPMD_OPT_CMDLINE_FILE) },
```

These long options are within "#ifdef RTE_LIB_CMDLINE" block, I don't
know why, I guess above two can work without cmdline library.

Why 'argvopt' is required, why not use 'argv' directly?

Similar to the 'struct option long_options' comment, I think expect from
"interactive" & "cmdline-file", rest can be moved out of "#ifdef
RTE_LIB_CMDLINE" block, but not this patch in different patch.

It is not shown in the patch, to print the error case it uses:
`fprintf(stderr, "Invalid option: %s\n", argv[optind]);`

But as far as I can see 'optind' is the next arg to call, so instead it
should be 'optind - 1'.


And just after while loop, there is "if (optind != argc)" check, I don't
see when this check will be hit, so it looks useless.
