Add a new --accept-properties option so that users can temporarily override
ACCEPT_PROPERTIES on the commandline, without relying on emerge's legacy behavior of allowing variables to leak in from the calling environment. A typical usage example for this option would be to use --accept-properties=-interactive to temporarily mask interactive packages. With default configuration, this would result in an effective ACCEPT_PROPERTIES value of "* -interactive". svn path=/main/trunk/; revision=14501
