disambiguate -p versus -P

Browse source 
we now use -P for --prefix and -p for --progress. previously, the
result of -p depended on the command: some were using it for
--progress, some for --prefix. this was confusing and was making it
impossible to both --progress and --prefix with on-letter options

--progress is likely used more often and interactively, so it get the
keystroke shortcut (lower "-p")

--prefix is used more rarely / in scripts, but important/dangerous for
prune, so it get the extra keystroke (higher "-P")

If somebody used -p someprefix and does not fix that to -P, it will
result in "no archive specified" or "unrecognized argument". So it
will neither cause pruning to remove wrong data nor go unnoticed.

Closes: #563
