[Geany] Dealing with unknown command line options

I notice that Geany doesn't handle unknown command line options
the way most other programs do:

% nedit --no-such-option
NEdit: Unrecognized option --no-such-option

% nano --no-such-option
nano: unrecognized option `--no-such-option'

% geany --no-such-option
Will create a new document named "--no-such-option"

Even more strange, with an already running instance of Geany:

% geany -i --no-such-option
Gives me two new documents, one named "--no-such-option" and one named "-i" ?!?!

I think this patch should solve the problem...
