Replace my_getopt with boost::program_options

Registered by Monty Taylor

Using boost::program_options, we'll replace the current hand-rolled my_getopt with something a little more useable. The plan is to have the options processing produce a structure which has the values of the options which can then be applied to variables, rather than attempting to set system variables while parsing the options.

Whiteboard

The command line is independent of my_getopt. But my_getopt can not be removed completely yet. sys_var is dependent on my_getopt which has been filed as a bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/drizzle/+bug/649160).
