[cc65] C64 command line (again)

I had a look at the command line parser for the C64 today. While I don't think
that the REM is evil, the necessity for a leading comma is somewhat
unorthogonal, and I tried to remove it without making the code much larger.

When changing the code I found that there is not really a need for the comma
at all. Other (usually bigger) platforms don't use a comma to separate
arguments, and in fact it would simplify the C64 code. But since the comma is
often used when passing arguments to builtin BASIC functions, I would like to
hear if having no comma is ok. To show an example (argument #3 is empty):

  Now:          RUN:REM,arg1, "arg2: foo, bar",,arg4
  Proposed:     RUN:REM arg1 "arg2: foo, bar" "" arg4
                        
Would the latter be acceptable, or is

  Proposed:     RUN:REM arg1, "arg2: foo, bar",,arg4

the better solution, even if it needs slightly more code?
