[ovs-dev] [PATCH v2] command-line.c: Support parsing ctl options via env variable

Thanks Ben: It works fine. Just a minor typo. It's much neat and trimmed now.

I tried with multiple options e.g.
export OVN_NBCTL_OPTIONS="--db=unix:nb1.ovsdb --no-leader-only --leader-only --no-leader-only"

and it gets called as expected:
Called as ovn-nbctl --db=unix:nb1.ovsdb --no-leader-only --leader-only --no-leader-only set-connection pssl:6641

To me, this looks more complicated than necessary, and thus harder to
reason about regarding correctness.  What about the following?  It does
not make me think as hard about correctness.  However, I have not tested
it.
