[bug] logger 2.26: regression, option -i not combinable with other options

Hello,

with logger from util-linux 2.25.x it's possible to combine the option
-i with other options like:

logger -is

with 2.26 I get the following error message:

$:~> logger -is
logger: failed to parse id: 's'

The changed behaviour breaks existing scripts like dhcpcd-run-hooks [1]
from dhcpcd [2].


Posible solution:
- don't combine the -i and --id options but keep the behaviour of -i and
make --id a long-form only option.


Thanks and best regards
Juergen
