Nirgal Vourgère 072f7c6518 Decrease POSIX required level to 1
One can now compile with CFLAGS="-std=c99 -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=1 -pedantic"

Trade getopt.h function for glib equivalents:
This mean all utilities now have long option names.
Adjust manuals and bash_completion accordingly.

Added missing manual and bash_completion for mdb-import.
