The argparse library was missing two key features which made it
unsuitable for use by EAL or any program wanting similar behaviour.
1. It didn't stop parsing arguments when it hit a "--" character
2. It never returned the number of arguments parsed
Fix both these issues - the latter is a change to the ABI, since we now
return >= 0 rather than == 0 on success. However, the ABI is still
experimental so we can make exactly these sorts of tweaks to it.

* No ABI change that would break compatibility with 24.11.
+* argparse: The experimental "argparse" library has had the following updates:
+ * The main parsing function, ``rte_argparse_parse()``,
+ now returns the number of arguments parsed on success, rather than zero.
+ It still returns a negative value on error.
+ * When parsing a list of arguments,
+ ``rte_argparse_parse()`` stops processing arguments when a ``--``
argument is encountered.
+ This behaviour mirrors the behaviour of the ``getopt()`` function,
+ as well as the behaviour of ``rte_eal_init()`` function.
