nsenter: fix parsing of -t, -S and -G options

-t, -S and -G each take mandatory integer arguments.   getopt32long()'s
option string syntax for this type of argument is 'c:+', however nsenter's
opt_str uses 'c+', which specifies two options 'c' and '+' which do not
take arguments.   This means that giving a target PID causes nsenter to
exit and print the usage string:

  # nsenter -t1 sh
  nsenter: unrecognized option: 1
  BusyBox v1.27.2 (2017-12-12 10:41:50 GMT) multi-call binary.
  ...

The long form options are also broken:

  # nsenter --setuid=1000 --setgid=1000 sh
  BusyBox v1.29.0.git (2018-05-04 13:56:49 UTC) multi-call binary.
  ...

`nsenter --target=<pid> sh` parses correctly and appears to work, but
<pid> is ignored and set to 0.   This doesn't raise an error unless one
of the namespace arguments is also given:

  # ./busybox_unstripped nsenter --target=42 sh
  # exit

  # ./busybox_unstripped nsenter -n --target=42 sh
  BusyBox v1.29.0.git (2018-05-04 13:56:49 UTC) multi-call binary.
  ...

This has caused problems in a couple of places:
