dispatch: verify result of early command parsing

Before, early options were stripped from args, and because of this, some
kind of parsing errors weren't reported. For example,

  $ hg ci -m -Ra file

would execute "hg ci -m file" in repository "a".

This patch fixes the issue by parsing early options again by real getopt-based
parser, and verifying the results. If the early parsing appears wrong, hg just
aborts. The current error message seems not nice, and should be improved, maybe
in V2 or follow-up.

Note that this isn't a security feature because we can still do anything by
using shell aliases.

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
