   tcpdump: force POSIX-style parsing of the command line.
   By default, all versions of getopt_long() that I could find do GNU-style
   parsing of command-line flags, meaning *any* command-line argument that
   begins with a "-", even if they follow an argument that doesn't begin
   with "-", is treated as an option.
   
   That breaks commands such as "tcpdump -d ip[4:4] == -1", because "-1" is
   parsed as a flag argument rather than as "minus one" in a filter
   expression.
   
   (Yes, I tested that with the last LBL release of tcpdump, 3.4, which
   didn't use getopt_long(), compiled with macOS Ventura getopt() and
   libpcap - that command *does* work there. So this is a long-standing
   regression.)
   
   Fix the test script not to implicitly assume GNU-style parsing by
   putting "-tttt" after all other command-line arguments, including a
   packet filter; put it before those arguments.  Rename the variable
   containing those arguments to make it clear that it's command-line
   arguments in general, not just option arguments.
