Subject: [PATCH] [options] fix passing negative numbers as arguments (#5262)

https://github.com/mikf/gallery-dl/issues/5262#issuecomment-2468677453

fixes regression introduced in 9e729681

'argparse' sets a flag and changes its behavior when using something
that looks like a negative number as option string, '-4' and '-6' in
this case.
