A joined option always needs to have an argument, even if it's an empty one.
Clang would previously assert when trying to use --extra-warnings, which is
a flag alias for -W, which is a joined option.

This adds KIND_REMAINING_ARGS, a class of options that consume
all remaining arguments on the command line.
This will be used to support /link in clang-cl, which is used
to forward all remaining arguments to the linker.
It also allows us to remove the hard-coded handling of "--",
allowing clients (clang and lld) to implement that functionality
themselves with this new option class.

This makes option aliases more powerful by enabling them to
pass along arguments to the option they're aliasing.
For example, if we have a joined option "-foo=", we can now
specify a flag option "-bar" to be an alias of that, with the
argument "baz".
This is especially useful for the cl.exe compatible clang driver,
where many options are aliases. For example, this patch enables
us to alias "/Ox" to "-O3" (-O is a joined option), and "/WX" to
"-Werror" (again, -W is a joined option).

Option aliases in option groups were previously disallowed by an assert.
As far as I can tell, there was no technical reason for this, and I would
like to be able to put cl.exe compatible options in their own group for Clang,
so let's change the assert.
