Indeed, it looks like I've fat-fingered a rebase here.  I am able to
get a clean CI run when running this patch, sorry for the noise.

Anyway, this introduces a surprising behavior when specifying too many
subcommands.  On HEAD:
$ pg_ctl stop -D $PGDATA kill -t 20 start
pg_ctl: too many command-line arguments (first is "stop")
Try "pg_ctl --help" for more information.
$ pg_ctl stop -D $PGDATA -t 20 start
pg_ctl: too many command-line arguments (first is "stop")
Try "pg_ctl --help" for more information.

With the patch:
$ pg_ctl stop -D $PGDATA -t 20 start
pg_ctl: too many command-line arguments (first is "start")
Try "pg_ctl --help" for more information.
$ pg_ctl stop -D $PGDATA kill -t 20 start
pg_ctl: too many command-line arguments (first is "kill")
Try "pg_ctl --help" for more information.

So the error message reported is incorrect now, referring to an
incorrect first subcommand.
