rev-parse parseopt: interpret any whitespace as start of help text

Currently, rev-parse only interprets a space ' ' character as the delimiter between the option spec and the help text. So if a tab character is placed between the option spec and the help text, it will be interpreted as part of the long option name or as part of the arg hint. If it is interpreted as part of the long option name, then rev-parse will produce what will be interpreted as multiple arguments on the command line. For example, the following option spec (note: there is a <tab> between "frotz" and "enable"): frotz enable frotzing will produce the following set expression when --frotz is used: set -- --frotz -- instead of this: set -- --frotz enable -- Mark t1502.2 as fixed.
