REVISION SUMMARY
  with the current way options are handled we'd always have a tight lock
  between kcrash and drkonqi making it unnecessarily difficult to add
  new options because newer kcrashes cannot simply pass them regardless of
  drkonqi's version.
  
  e.g.
  
  - drkonqi 5.20 adds --displayName
  - kcrash 5.70 adds support for passing --displayName
  - kcrash now needs to somehow determine the precise version of drkonqi because passing --displayName to 5.19 or below results in exit1
  
  by having drkonqi ignore unknown options we can eliminate this restriction
  as kcrash can then simply always pass all arguments it knows (which it
  needs to do for the entire so-series; 5.70 needs to still work with
  plasma 5.0 in theory)
  
  NB: 5.x still needs some variant of version checking as kcrash needs to
  find out if drkonqi has this new behavior. come 6.x we would be able to
  ignore versions entirely in kcrash

TEST PLAN
  passing arbitrary cli options no longer causes drkonqi to exit in error
