Description
The exact form of JEP 293 is unclear at this point, but there are a few things that probably need to be changed with jdeprscan's options.

1) Remove -cp as a short synonym for --class-path. It's incompatible with the single-minus short options and double-minus long options.

2) Add a short option for --class-path, maybe. Not sure what this could be; possibly -C?

3) For options that take arguments, allow an = to separate the argument from the option as well as whitespace.

4) Update usage message, help message, and manual page accordingly.
Comments
For now, simply remove -cp. Maybe add another short option later, and add support for = later (that's covered by JDK-8165888).
