[lcdproc] LCDd Server Startup

It appears that the LCDd server starts up in all sorts of strange
places.

For example, this command line results in LCDd starting:

# LCDd -d MtxOrb --help

...there are many other similar ones; for example:

# LCDd -d MtxOrb -t 16x2

...generates an error (because LCDd doesn't understand about 16x2
displays?) and then starts up normally (!).

I'll see if I can fix this; it would appear that reworking the options
to use getopt(3) and getopt_long(3) would go a long way to fix this.

In particular, it would be nice if -d took only one option and perhaps
another option would be --driver-opts="xxxxx" (with a single string
option).

I'm not sure that's the BEST way but it fits best with current
ideology...
