Add option to disable strict parsing options

[NightMachinery]

exa exits with an error if I use "useless options":

$ exa -a --oneline -l
Option --oneline (-1) is useless given option --long (-l)

This limits my ability to easily create aliases. I want an option where exa just chills out. :))

Bumping this; I'm starting to think that I should create a wrapper around exa just to solve this problem.

[NightMachinery]

exa() {
    local arg long=''
    for arg in "$@"
    do
        [[ "$arg" == "-l" || "$arg" == "--long" ]] && long='y'
    done
    if test -z "$long"
    then
        command exa -1 "$@"
    else
        command exa "$@"
    fi
}

This is really awful UX though. It's even a bug considering there is EXA_STRICT in the manpage.

Another vote for this. I have ls aliased to exa -la and this issue is pretty annoying.

Yeah, this was a bug where strict mode wasn't being checked for. It's been fixed (#476) and will go out in the next release.
