LibC: Make `getopt` modify `argv` again
A POSIX-compatibility fix was introduced in 64740a0214 to make the compilation of the `diffutils` port work, which expected a `char* const* argv` signature. And indeed, the POSIX spec does not mention permutation of `argv`: https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/getopt.html However, most implementations do modify `argv` as evidenced by documentation such as: https://refspecs.linuxbase.org/LSB_5.0.0/LSB-Core-generic /LSB-Core-generic/libutil-getopt-3.html "The function prototype was aligned with POSIX 1003.1-2008 (ISO/IEC 9945-2009) despite the fact that it modifies argv, and the library maintainers are unwilling to change this." Change the behavior back to permutate `argc` to allow for the following command line argument order to work again: unzip ./file.zip -o target-dir Without this change, `./file.zip` in the example above would have been ignored completely.
