parameter parsing gives misleading error message on incomplete parameters

Description

Basically, 

rrdtool graph --end

results in ERROR: unknown option 'e' - not something that is very helpful in understand what's actually wrong if the full command line is rather long.

If you can improve the getopt handling for such cases, I'd be glad. If not, I'll survive it anyway.

Regards,

Christoph
