argmatch: add variants that only match full argument

I would like a more constrained argument matching to improve forward compatibility and robustness. For example I would like `cksum -a sha3` to _not_ be equivalent to `cksum -a sha386`, so that a user specifying `-a sha3` on an older cksum would not be surprised. Also argmatch() is used when parsin

Another GNU package starts to make use of libtermcap [1][2]. By doing so, it exhibits the usual portability problems: - It assumes that exists. But these platforms don't have it: AIX, HP-UX, IRIX, Solaris, Android, Cygwin (opt.), mingw, MSVC. - It recognizes libtermcap and libcurses on
