handle_options(): do not miscount how many arguments were used

The handle_options() function advances the base of the argument array and
returns the number of arguments it used. The caller in handle_alias()
wants to reallocate the argv array it passes to this function, and
attempts to do so by subtracting the returned value to compensate for the
change handle_options() makes to the new_argv.

But handle_options() did not correctly count when "-c <config=value>" is
given, causing a wrong pointer to be passed to realloc().

Fix it by saving the original argv at the beginning of handle_options(),
and return the difference between the final value of argv, which will
relieve the places that move the array pointer from the additional burden
of keeping track of "handled" counter.
