"set" command compatibility

I'm fixing the "set" command to take multiple operands, like it did in v2.
You'd never know it from the man page or the usage message, but it looks
like the current "set" command implementation accepts a "--value" option
that allows you to specify the name and value separately.

That is, you could do

        asadmin set --value b a

as equivalent to

        asadmin set a=b


I PLAN TO REMOVE THIS CAPABILITY.

It doesn't seem to be documented anywhere, it wasn't there in v2, and it
conflicts with accepting multiple operands.

Let me know if this is an issue for you.
