This is a first attempt to improve the comments of getopt_ulflags.c.
Maybe under some aspects the text could be refined, but so
far it is already usable and should help people who "avoided getopt_ulflags as the pest" to understand how it works.

This patch was created with the help of
Vodz, the author of the code, who explained me patiently
how getopt_ulflags works
and with the help of
Paul Fox, who corrected my broken english.

So thanks and merits should go to them also.

4575bbf7b8 The variable 'complementaly' used to be allocated with calloc, which zeroed it
out during the allocation process.  When vodz changed it to be allocated on the
stack, he forgot to explicitly zero it, leaving its value filled with whatever
used to be sitting on the stack.  It would garbage values, depending on the
garbage that happened to be sitting on the stack when the function was called.
The result was that applets using bb_getopt_ulflags() were showing
unpredictable behavior (such as segfaults), which naturally broke many things.

Manuel,

    I rewrite bb_getopt_ulflags() function for more universal usage.
    My version support now:
    - options with arguments (optional arg as GNU extension also)
    - complementaly and/or incomplementaly and/or incongruously and/or list
    options
    - long_opt (all applets may have long option, add supporting is trivial)
    This realisation full compatibile from your version.
    Code size grow 480 bytes, but only coreutils/* over compensate this size
    after using new function. Last patch reduced over 800 bytes and not full
    applied to all. "mkdir" and "mv" applets have long_opt now for demonstrate
    trivial addition support long_opt with usage new bb_getopt_ulflags().
    Complementaly and/or incomplementaly and/or incongruously and/or list options
    logic is not trivial, but new "cut" and "grep" applets using this logic
    for examples with full demostrating. New "grep" applet reduced over 300
    bytes.

    Mark,
    Also. I removed bug from "grep" applet.
    $ echo a b | busybox grep -e a b
    a b
    a b
    But right is printing one only.
