[PATCH] selftests: rtc: Support harness test filtering and arguments

[Wake Liu]

rtctest implements its own main() function with a rigid switch (argc)
check that only accepts an optional single argument for the RTC device
node path. This prevents kselftest_harness standard arguments from
working properly:

1. Passing filter options like -t <name> or -T <name> triggers a usage
   error because argc is greater than 2.
2. Passing -l or -h causes rtctest to treat "-l" or "-h" as the device
   node path and fail with access() errors before ever reaching the
   harness argument checker.

Parse command line arguments with getopt() to pass all kselftest harness
options (such as -t, -T, -v, -V, -f, -F, -r, -d, -h, and -l) through to
test_harness_run(), while preserving the ability to specify an optional
RTC device node path as a non-option argument. Also ensure optind is
reset before invoking test_harness_run() so the harness can inspect the
options, and bypass device accessibility checks when help or test
listing is requested.
