dpkg-parsechangelog: documentation update
Update dpkg-parsechangelog's documentation to make it clearer that spaces are not allowed between single characters options and their values. For example, "-v1.14" works but "-v 1.14" doesn't. However "--since 1.14" works. Long options can have values as the next command line argument but not short ones.
