Subject: [PATCH] fix: don't remove flag value that matches subcommand name
 (#1781)

When the command searches args to find the arg matching a
particular subcommand name, it needs to ignore flag values,
as it is possible that the value for a flag might match
the name of the sub command.

This change improves argsMinusFirstX() to ignore flag values
when it searches for the X to exclude from the result.
