getops: improve getopt-parse.bash example
Use correct names of example scripts in the script. Remove use of backticks, they require quoting that makes the example harder to follow. Split one-liners to one-command-at-a-time expressions. Add continue keyword to avoid additional case statement matching. Be strict with quoting. Reported-by: Benno Schulenberg <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Sami Kerola <[email protected]>
