RFE[runtime]: omit unsupported flags from usage

[PHHargrove]

Just saw the output below on FreeBSD.

I short: I get the message "Scheduling affinity not supported or configured" followed by a usage summary that includes the unsupported -sched-policy option.

I've not verified, but I suspect -sched-cpu-avoid and -mem-policy have the same issue.

It must be that NUMA was not detected OR/AND it is different on freebsd.

I am rebuilding my freebds host for harness testing and will take a look.

It must be that NUMA was not detected OR/AND it is different on freebsd.

That is a separate issue entirely, and I was holding off on reporting it until I'd had a closer look.
This particular issue was just a request to prune unsupported options from the usage message.
