[PATCH 2/2] app/pdump: improve cmdline argument handling

[Bruce Richardson <bruce.richardson@intel.com>]

Rework the argc/argv handling in pdump a little to improve things.
Issues with the original implementation:
* assumed user would never pass proc-type parameter on the commandline
* did not null-terminate the argv array (generally harmless but not in
  spec)
* did not handle case where arg processing in eal_init would reorder
  non-flag args to the end to be handled by the app.

Fix these - all-be-it minor issues, by having a separate count value for
the number of arguments we put in the argp array, rather than assuming
that its argc + 1 (for proc-type flag). Properly set the last argv entry
to NULL, and when processing app args, reuse the argp array passed to
eal_init rather than reverting back to the original argv array.
