libbb: make '--help' handling more consistent
Running an applet with '--help' as its only argument is treated as a special case. If additional arguments follow '--help' the behaviour is inconsistent: - applets which call single_argv() print help and do nothing else; - applets which call getopt() report "unrecognized option '--help'" and print help anyway; - expr says "expr: syntax error" and doesn't print help; - printenv silently ignores '--help', prints any other variables and doesn't print help; - realpath says "--help: No such file or directory", prints the path of any other files and doesn't print help. If the first argument is '--help' ignore any other arguments and print help. This is more consistent and most likely what the user wanted.
