The 'ip' utility hardcodes the assumption of being a 2-char command, where
any follow-on characters are passed as an argument:
$ ./ip-full help
Object "-full" is unknown, try "ip help".
This confusing behaviour isn't seen with 'tc' for example, and was added in
a 2005 commit without documentation. It was noticed during testing of 'ip'
variants built/packaged with different feature sets (e.g. w/o BPF support).
Drop the related code.
