test: add failed test and edge case

[Sebastien-Ahkrin]

Problems

We should allow user's to pass big string on ace commands without making them numbered.
For example => 111111111111111111111111 should still be "111111111111111111111111" after getopt output.
(Actually getopt transform this to a number).

A simple fix should be to add the flag on the string option of getopt. But, if we do that, we have some bug on the application. Because, getopt transform empty flag to empty string

getopt("--str=111111111111111111111111", { string: ["str", "test"] })

will return something like:

{
  "str": "111111111111111111111111",
  "test": ""
} 

An issue about something like that already exist here : jorgebucaran/getopts#53

I added a failed test, who explain the "problems" we found on ace

Cool, I see that.

Can you please update the same PR and provide the fix as well?

I'm sorry, actually i don't have any fix. A "simple" fix may be to change the "getopt" packages by yargs or something like that. What do you think about that @thetutlage ?

We have moved from getopts to yargs in the newest version of Ace (with breaking changes). The newer version will be used with v6.

So is it okay for now to sit on this bug? Or do you need it to be fixed for v5 apps too?

I think its okay for us so if the bug isn't here on v6. Thanks so!
If we want to fix it, do we can change getopt to yargs on v5 on a PR?

I think it will be a lot complicated to swap getopts with yargs and might introduce breaking changes as well. So, it will be nice to leave the current version as it is and then use the latest version of ace in coming months.
