rm: can't delete a filename including a dash (#669)

* A filename starting with a dash can be given as an argument like this: ./-o-
* The cp program seems to support this but rm does not (see below)

%perl cp cp ./-cp.1
%perl rm ./-cp.1 
Unknown option: c
Unknown option: p
Unknown option: .
Unknown option: 1
