Change the getopt() in main.cpp for argument parsing.

Current Behavior

Takes single char arguments. We've currently gone through a-h, lmn, p-u, x, z, and '?'.

Desired Behavior

Expand the possible arguments. Reading the man page of getopt(), it looks like getopt_long() should allow us a bit more flexibility.

Possible Solution

It does not appear that a rework of the current getopt() is needed. getopt_long() works just the same as getopt(), but it can also accept long arguments. We can leave the arguments as-is, then add new long arguments.
