parse-options: add PARSE_OPT_LASTARG_DEFAULT flag

If you set this for a given option, and the optoin appears without an
argument on the command line, then the `defval' is used as its argument.

Note that this flag is meaningless in presence of OPTARG or NOARG flags.
(in the current implementation it will be ignored, but don't rely on it).
