getopt-gnu: Handle suboptimal getopt_long's abbreviation handling.

* m4/getopt.m4 (gl_GETOPT_CHECK_HEADERS): If getopt_long exists but
does not handle abbreviated long options with equivalent
disambiguations, set gl_replace_getopt to yes.
* doc/posix-functions/getopt.texi: Mention the OpenBSD 5.0 problem.
