RFR (smallish?) 8061611: Remove deprecated command line flags

[Derek White]

This is a request for final re-review.

Updated for comments, and added regression test for arguments. This test 
is a bit overkill for this bug, but it's extensible for other deprecated 
and aliased options.

Re-merged with tree.

Thanks!
