Feature or enhancement

Proposal:

pdb is using getopt for argument parsing. getopt is pretty old and not well maintained. Some issue in #108791 could be avoided with the modern argparse module. We should replace getopt with argparse when it's easy to do so. This might ease the load in the future when more arguments are added to the CLI.

Has this already been discussed elsewhere?

This is a minor feature, which does not need previous discussion elsewhere
