MDEV-26238: Remove inconsistent behaviour of --default-* options in my_print_defaults

Analysis: --defaults* option is recognized anywhere in the commandline instead of only at the beginning because handle_options() recognizes options in any order. Fix: use get_defaults_options() which recognizes --defaults* options only at the beginning. After this is done, we only want to recognize other options given in any order which can be done using handle_options(). So (only) skip --defaults* options, combine it with program name to pass it to handle_options() (because we skip program name in handle_options() too). Also, removed -e, -g and -c because only my_print_defaults supports them.

you're still overdoing it. you can do just argv+= args_used-1; argc+= args_used-1; get_options(&argc,&argv); no need to allocate or copy anything. Isn't it simpler?

/* We already process --defaults* options at the beginning in get_defaults_options(). So skip only --defaults* options and pass program name and remaining options to handle_options(). */
