--------------------------------------

             Summary: Change command line arguments to be proper long/short arguments
                 Key: SYSTEMML-1708
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SYSTEMML-1708
             Project: SystemML
          Issue Type: Sub-task
            Reporter: Nakul Jindal
             Fix For: SystemML 1.0


Our command line arguments are somewhat incoherent. The `file` parameters looks like a short argument, whereas the other look like long arguments but with a short parameter dash.
(Short parameters are typically a single dash followed by a single character, long parameters are typically 2 dashes followed by a string). We should at least support either both or at least the long parameters.

| Old argument | New long argument | 
| -f | --file |
| -s | --script-string |
| -explain | --explain | 
| -stats | --stats | 
| -exec | --execution-mode | 
| -debug | --debug |
| - clean | --clean |
| -args | --positional-arguments |
| -nvargs | --named-arguments |
| -config | --properties-file |
| -python | *deprecate* |
| -gpu | --gpu |
