Options for restore are now processed during the common VM arguments parsing stage.

Notable improvements compared to the old code:
- Options from `-XX:Flags=<file>` and `-XX:VMOptionsFile=<file>` are now also considered
- Option aliasing is now handled correctly

**Behavioral change**. If `CRaCIgnoreRestoreIfUnavailable` is true it is now not an error to specify non-restore-settable options on restore — these will just be omitted from forwarding to the restored JVM. This makes it possible to specify non-restore-settable to be used after a failed restore.
