[PATCH v5 1/5] cli: command line parsing: allow default for keyword options

This changes the parsing for "keyword" options so that if the option
is specified with no argument the first possible argument is
chosen. This make it easier to add options to existing boolean
arguments (the existing --option can default to TRUE).
