Description
Currently, Tokenizer will assume a match for a short option when it encounters a single-dash argument, when the first character matches. This is unexpected when `IgnoreUnknownArguments` is set to true--since it should ignore unknown arguments.

Research direction
Review src/CommandLine/Core/Tokenizer.cs around lines 172-183 and trace how single-dash arguments are matched when IgnoreUnknownArguments is true. Confirm the change by checking that an unknown single-dash argument is ignored rather than correlated to a short option, while valid short options retain their behavior.
