Commit 1187c34d88e1 (support/scripts: move merged-usr errors message
into check-merged-usr.sh) introduced the use of getopt to parse its
options; doing so allowed to use long option (with two leading dashes),
which is more descriptive than the usual one-character options.

However, getopt is part of util-linux; it is not a shell built-in.
util-linux is not a prerequisite of Buildroot, so we may end up running
on a system where it is missing.

We could add host-util-linux as a dependency when the system does not
provide getopt, but that's not very nice; even though host-skeleton does
not need to check for merged-bin for now, it does not need getopt, and
thus we could add host-util-linux (which depends on host-skeleton) as a
dependency of skeleton-custom. But that will not be tenable over the
long run, especially if/when we do a merged-bin in host dir.

Requiring that util-linux be installed system-wide is not nice either;
it's an additional requirement on the host.

We can do like we do in the oter scripts, though: use the shell built-in
getopts. Its usage is slightly different, and does not support long
options. As it's just for use in an intenral script, we can live with
the less descriptive options, though.

Switch to using getopts, it removes the need for a new host dependency.
