upstream/script-fix-command-and-command_norm-memory-leaks.patch script: fix command and command_norm memory leaks
Always own ctl.command by using xstrdup() for the -c optarg path
(the -- path already allocates via ul_strv_join), and free both
ctl.command and ctl.command_norm at exit.

upstream/script-fix-backward-compatibility-for-options-after-non-o.patch script: fix backward compatibility for options after non-option args
The commit 7268e79b added "+" to the getopt_long() options string to
support the "--" separator for specifying commands. The "+" prefix
makes getopt stop processing at the first non-option argument, which
breaks the traditional "script file -c command" usage.

Fix this by pre-scanning argv for "--" before getopt, separating the
command arguments, and removing the "+" prefix to restore GNU getopt
argument permutation.
