[PATCH v2 06/19] reset.c: remove unnecessary variable 'i'

[Martin von Zweigbergk <martinvonz@gmail.com>]

Throughout most of parse_args(), the variable 'i' remains at 0. Many
references are still made to the variable even when it could only have
the value 0. This made at least me, who has relatively little
experience with C programming styles, think that parts of the function
was meant to be part of a loop. To avoid such confusion, remove the
variable and also the 'argc' parameter and check for NULL trailing
argv instead.

I explained a bit more why I was confused by the current style, but
I'm also perfectly happy if you just drop the patch (there would be
some minor conflicts in a later patch, though).
