Merge #6306

6306: The hpxcxx script was broken such that it could only compile for _release r=hkaiser a=stevenrbrandt

The hpxcxx script was broken such that it could only compile for _release. This modification makes it more robust in finding a compiled hpx installation and changes the 2 character flags to use -- instead of -.

Fixes #

## Proposed Changes

  - Changes 2 character flags so that they use -- instead of -
  - Fixes bug which prevents non-release versions from working
  - Makes specifying the release optional
  -  corrects relwithdebinfo to relwithdebuginfo

## Any background context you want to provide?

 a component, an application, or that you specify
 the -c flag. If you are building against a debug
