This PR clears OPTARG (as opposed to `unset OPTARG`) for a valid long option without a required argument (e.g. `--charlie`). I believe this matches the behavior of builtin `getopts` for valid short options without an argument.

This PR adds checks to prevent getopts_long errors when `set -u` (shorthand for `set -o nounset`) is enabled. This setting ensures that accessing an unset or undefined variable triggers an error, which helps catch scripting mistakes and avoid unintended behaviour caused by typos or missing variables.

This PR adds a check that prevents an error when nounset is enabled (
set -u) and!OPTINDis unbound, i.e. when there are no more arguments left to process andgetopts_longencounters a final option that is missing a required argument. This matches the behavior of the builtingetoptscommand.
