getopt32: remove applet_long_options

FEATURE_GETOPT_LONG made dependent on LONG_OPTS.

The folloving options are removed, now LONG_OPTS enables long options
for affected applets:
FEATURE_ENV_LONG_OPTIONS	FEATURE_EXPAND_LONG_OPTIONS
FEATURE_UNEXPAND_LONG_OPTIONS	FEATURE_MKDIR_LONG_OPTIONS
FEATURE_MV_LONG_OPTIONS		FEATURE_RMDIR_LONG_OPTIONS
FEATURE_ADDGROUP_LONG_OPTIONS	FEATURE_ADDUSER_LONG_OPTIONS
FEATURE_HWCLOCK_LONG_OPTIONS	FEATURE_NSENTER_LONG_OPTS
FEATURE_CHCON_LONG_OPTIONS	FEATURE_RUNCON_LONG_OPTIONS

They either had a small number of long options, or their long options are
essential.

Example: upstream addgroup and adduser have ONLY longopts,
we should probably go further and get rid
of non-standard short options.

To this end, make addgroup and adduser "select LONG_OPTS".
We had this breakage caused by us even in our own package!
	#if ENABLE_LONG_OPTS || !ENABLE_ADDGROUP
                /* We try to use --gid, not -g, because "standard" addgroup
                 * has no short option -g, it has only long --gid.
                 */
                argv[1] = (char*)"--gid";
	#else
                /* Breaks if system in fact does NOT use busybox addgroup */
                argv[1] = (char*)"-g";
	#endif

xargs: its lone longopt no longer depends on DESKTOP, only on LONG_OPTS.

hwclock TODO: get rid of incompatible -t, -l aliases to --systz, --localtime

Shorten help texts by omitting long option when short opt alternative exists.

Reduction of size comes from the fact that store of an immediate
(an address of longopts) to a fixed address (global variable)
is a longer insn than pushing that immediate or passing it in a register.
This effect is CPU-agnostic.
