Adds support for the "-xV" parameter type, where "-x" denotes a flag
name and the "V" suffix indicates that this flag is supposed to take an
arbitrary string parameter.
These parameters are always optional, the entry in the qdict will be
omitted if the flag is not given.

v6:
It wasn't possible to pass the 'connected' parameter to set_password, since the
code to handle optional parameters couldn't live with a different param (not
starting with '-') coming up instead - fix that by advancing over the 'value
flag' modifier in case `*p != '-'`.
Also change the modifier to 'V' instead of 'S' so it can be distinguished from
an actual trailing 'S' type param.
Discovered in testing. I dropped Eric's R-b due to the code change.
