required parameter does not exclude negated options

[keturn]

Given code like this:

    @Option(names = "--crash-report", defaultValue = "true", negatable = true)
    private boolean crashReportEnabled;

    @Option(names = "--homedir")
    private Path homeDir;

if invoked with --homedir --crash-report, it quits as expected with this message:

Expected parameter for option '--homedir' but found '--crash-report'

But if invoked with the boolean option's negated form --homedir --no-crash-report it assigns --no-crash-report as the value of homeDir.

using picocli and picocli-codegen version 4.5.1.

Sorry for the delay.
I found the cause and pushed a fix to master.
This fix will be included in the next release.
Thanks again for raising this!
