'kill --list' and 'kill --version' complain "not enough arguments"

Hello all.

Both 'kill --list' and 'kill --version' produce a warning "not enough
arguments".

Seems like --list and --version are complete subcommands, like --help,
and therefore shouldn't produce this warning.

Thanks for the report, I pushed a patch.

A new cygwin test release 3.5.0-0.239.g2a4dd6a23999 is just building and
should be installable via setup shortly.
