Removes partial long options from the tools (#872)
Some of the command-line tools would allow partial long options (e.g., --datas instead of --dataset). These were inconsistently implemented, difficult to maintain, and occasionally blocked useful long options. They have been removed from all the tools. NOTE: This change should NOT be merged to 1.12 or earlier.
