Fix: argpar: Error out when passing an argument to long option that takes no argument

If the user defines a long option `--foo` and passes `--foo=arg`, the
current behavior is that the option foo is recognized and the argument
is ignored.  Change that to be an error.

It is currently not possible to pass arguments to short options using an
equal sign, so this doesn't apply to short options.
