Issue description
It should be possible to combine short options as long as only the last one takes an argument.

For example: 
  1. $ arx -nd /foo/bar
 should be equivalent to 
  1. $ arx -n -d /foo/bar

This is common under *nix and was the way arx behaved previously.

For this to work unambiguously, long options with only a single dash should be forbidden: 
  1. $ arx -no-data-dir
Steps to reproduce this issue
