So, the change:
-makecheck -> --makecheck
-valgrind -> --valgrind
-nocache -> --nocache
-misalign -> --misalign
Motivation:
1. Several long options are already have double dash:
--dry-run, --color, --groups, --exclude-groups, --start-from
2. -misalign is used to add --misalign option (two dashes) to qemu-io
3. qemu-io and qemu-nbd has --nocache option (two dashes)
Just like for QEMU, let me reiterate that this is generally not an
improvement.
Double-dash options give extra information to the user that short
(single-dash) options can be combined, while this is not the case for
iotests/check.
