Use our own getopt() on OpenBSD.

Recent OpenBSD (at least 5.9 and up) has a version of getopt(3)
that will not cope with the "-:" spec we use to accept double-dash
options in postgres.c and postmaster.c. Admittedly, that's a hack
because POSIX only requires getopt() to allow alphanumeric option
characters. I have no desire to find another way, however, so
let's just do what we were already doing on Solaris: force use
of our own src/port/getopt.c implementation.

In passing, improve some of the comments around said implementation.

Per buildfarm and local testing. Back-patch to all supported branches.
