Option parsing: add support for alias arguments.

This makes option aliases more powerful by enabling them to
pass along arguments to the option they're aliasing.

For example, if we have a joined option "-foo=", we can now
specify a flag option "-bar" to be an alias of that, with the
argument "baz".

This is especially useful for the cl.exe compatible clang driver,
where many options are aliases. For example, this patch enables
us to alias "/Ox" to "-O3" (-O is a joined option), and "/WX" to
"-Werror" (again, -W is a joined option).
