libsubcmd: Silence compiler warning

Initialize the pointer 'o' in options__order to NULL to prevent a
compiler warning/error which is observed when compiling with the '-Og'
option, but is not emitted by the compiler with the current default
compilation options.

For example, when compiling libsubcmd with

 $ make "EXTRA_CFLAGS=-Og" -C tools/lib/subcmd/ clean all

Clang version 17.0.6 and GCC 13.3.1 fail to compile parse-options.c due
to following error:

  parse-options.c: In function ‘options__order’:
  parse-options.c:832:9: error: ‘o’ may be used uninitialized [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
    832 |         memcpy(&ordered[nr_opts], o, sizeof(*o));
        |         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  parse-options.c:810:30: note: ‘o’ was declared here
    810 |         const struct option *o, *p = opts;
        |                              ^
  cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
