  [SRU] amqp-tools server parameter unusable

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  The --server and -url parameters do not function as documented, due to an upstream coding error that was fixed in release 0.8.1.

  [Test Case]
  $ sudo apt-get -y install librabbitmq-dev
  $ sudo apt-get -y install amqp-tools

  ### Broken behavior:
  $ sudo amqp-consume --server=foobar:5672 -q queue cat
  both --server and --url options specify server host

  ### Fixed behavior:
  $ sudo apt-add-repository -y ppa:bryce/librabbitmq-sru-1790657
  $ sudo apt-get -y install librabbitmq-dev
  $ sudo amqp-consume --server=foobar:5672 -q queue cat
  Specifying the port number with --server is deprecated
  opening socket to foobar:5672

  [Regression Potential]
  The patch alters C code to change how command line options are processed.  Things to watch for, then, would be mishandling of cli options, or compilation errors during package build.  The changes do not alter input handling at all, so static testing should give a high degree of confidence of stability.  Also, the alterations are focused on tools, so general operation of librabbitmq should not be affected in any way by the changes.

  [Fix]
  The upstream patch corrects handling of --server, --url, and other options by reorganizing the logic flow.

  [Discussion]
  The issue appears not to be a regression from a recent change, but a problem that has existed for quite a while:

   librabbitmq | 0.0.1.hg216-1 | precise/universe | source
   librabbitmq | 0.4.1-1       | trusty           | source
   librabbitmq | 0.7.1-1       | xenial/universe  | source
   librabbitmq | 0.8.0-1build1 | bionic/universe  | source
   librabbitmq | 0.8.0-1build1 | cosmic/universe  | source
   librabbitmq | 0.9.0-0.2     | disco            | source
   librabbitmq | 0.9.0-0.2     | eoan             | source

  The fix should be backported to bionic and probably cosmic.  Earlier
  releases are probably also affected but probably only worth doing if
  the patch applies cleanly to them.

  [Original Report]
  The version of amqp-tools in 18.04.1 LTS (and 14.04 iirc) has a bug which renders parts of the cli unusable:

  https://github.com/alanxz/rabbitmq-c/issues/364

  1) 18.04.1 LTS bionic
  2) 0.8.0-1build1
  3) `amqp-consume --server=foobar:5672 -q queue cat` should work
  4) amqp-consume complains that you cannot use --server and --url together
