Normalizing --script and --load behavior to respect "--" |

I noticed that --script does not seem to respect the normal "--" cutoff for
arguments. I expected Emacs would consume all arguments it supports and
then set `argv' to the remaining arguments, using "--" to distinguish when
to stop trying to consume.
I believe --load and --script should be similar because otherwise a script
has to skip over or interpret arguments that were intended for Emacs.
My A/B problem is running tests with a graphical window versus without.
Because --quick --no-window-system --load <file> presents a dilemma of how
to report test feedback, I used --script to run tests without a window and
encountered the behavior difference.
I'm currently using a workaround to consume extra arguments conditionally
in the loaded elisp file.
Nix wrapper scripts exhibit problematic interaction with this issue. I
used the direct path to the binary to confirm that the behavior exists
without the wrapper. --script always sees all of the arguments while --load
only sees non-Emacs arguments.
