the lower left corner, and "User Commands" or "System Administration"
at the top center.

* fix regression: missing username should not be reported (EPERM) if
-n/--skip-login is given and username is NULL.
* don't compose login options *string* if we can use argv *array* (the
string is necessary only for --login-options).
* don't overwrite --login-options by --autologin
The old code silently ignores login-options and "login -f <username>"
is always used.
The new code uses:
a) "login -f <username>" by default
b) "login <login-options>" for --login-options + --autologin
where for b) the username from "--autologin <username>" is used to
replace \u magic string in <login-options>.
* the \u could be used more than once in one login argv string, for
example: agetty --login-options "-o user=\\u,name=\\u --foo"
* the space in --login-options is correctly ignored, for example
agetty --login-options " hello world ".

Allow the system adminstrator to provide options to the login
program. Some changes for several layouts of the agetty
prompt like short host name or full qualified host name.
Four options enables the user to delay agetty after start,
to change the working directory, to change the root directory,
and to modified scheduling priority.

Long options to manual page with the new --version and --help.
The manual page option order is also set to be the same as it is
in code. For the persons who don't see the order it is short
option case in sensitive alphabetical order.
