Setting optreset is required on FreeBSD and NetBSD which do not
recognize setting optind to 0. POSIX specifies neither of these methods
to reset getopt().

However, removing the dependency on this feature is simple. The shell
already features a function nextopt() that can be used to parse options
and is automatically set up for builtins.

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] [HISTEDIT] Stop depending on getopt reset feature.

Instead, use our own nextopt() function.
