zopt: low-ceremony command line parsing for Zig

zopt is a lightweight, schemaless command-line argument parser for Zig that uses lazy 'schema on read' semantics, parsing argv on demand rather than upfront. It keeps help text, error handling, and defaults to the application code, making it a thin wrapper around std.process.Args ideal for smaller CLI tools.

Background

Command-line argument parsing is a common need in system and utility tool development, with Zig's standard library providing std.process.Args as a basic primitive.
