Subject: [PATCH ethtool 2/3] ethtool: use dummy args[] entry for no-args case

Simplify the code flow further by adding a struct option
entry for the no-args case (e.g. "ethtool eth0").

This leads to a slight change in the help output, there
will now be an extra space between FLAGS and DEVICE in
that case:

  ethtool [ FLAGS ]  DEVNAME	Display standard information about device

but hopefully that's okay.

Note that this patch adds a false-positive warning with GCC 11:

ethtool.c: In function ‘find_option’:
ethtool.c:6082:29: warning: offset ‘1’ outside bounds of constant string [-Warray-bounds]
 6082 |                         opt += len + 1;
      |                         ~~~~^~~~~~~~~~

we'll never get to that code if the string is empty.
