fftools/cmdutils: don't try to load arguments from file if not needed

CLI option parser checks if argument exists when needed, but in this
case only OPT_TYPE_BOOL where checked, so OPT_TYPE_FUNC without argument
where trying to load a file from `arg` which is NULL in this case.

Fixes crash on `ffmpeg -/version`
