Problem

parse_args() in dispatch.lua only supports --flag=value syntax.
--flag value (space-separated) is not supported.

Example:
fragjan code . --pack=daw-code -- works
fragjan code . --pack daw-code -- pack = true, daw-code becomes positional

Current Implementation

local key, val = a:match("^%-%-([^=]+)=?(.*)$")
result.flags[key] = (val ~= "" and val or true)

Next arg is never consumed as value when val is empty.

Impact

Affects all programs using berhtjan-cli (fragjan, merkwerk, others).
Fix here benefits all consumers.

Solution

When val is empty and next arg does not start with --, consume
next arg as value.
