I'm not sure I agree with this change.

- the iostat(8) man page specifically lists -? as a valid option flag
- taking the -? out of the option string causes getopt to complain:

old version of iostat:

$ iostat -?
usage: iostat [-CdhIKoT?] [-c count] [-M core] [-n devs] [-N system]
              [-t type,if,pass] [-w wait] [drives]

current version of df:

$ df -?
df: illegal option -- ?
usage: df [-ikn] [-t type] [file | filesystem ...]

- I maintain iostat, and you didn't ask me about the change
