fix(portal-clis): reject undefined single-dash flags in the unknown-flag guard (#428)

The guard in the four bunli-based CLIs inspected only tokens starting
with `--`, so an undefined short flag bypassed it: bunli discarded it,
the search ran unfiltered, and the CLI exited 0. Live against jobnet,
`search -q "sygeplejerske"` returned all 18,179 ads as a successful
search against 667 for the real `--search-string` query - the same shape
as review finding F13 that motivated the guard.

Both dash forms are now checked. Declared shorts (jobindex's -q) and
bunli's built-in -h/-v stay valid. A negative number is rejected too:
bunli discards a `-`-prefixed token rather than consuming it as the
previous flag's value, so `--radius -5` silently fell back to the
default instead of failing its own min(1) schema; a value that must
begin with a dash uses the `--flag=value` form.

Fixes #426.
