parse-options: sanity check PARSE_OPT_NOARG flag

Browse source 
Some option types cannot use an argument --- boolean options that
would set a bit or flag or increment a counter, for example.  If
configured in the flag word to accept an argument anyway, the result
is an argument that is advertised in "program -h" output only to be
rejected by parse-options::get_value.

Luckily all current users of these option types use PARSE_OPT_NOARG
and do not use PARSE_OPT_OPTARG.  Add a check to ensure that that
remains true.  The check is run once for each invocation of
parse_option_start().
