GNU parallel's --no-notice

Some build scripts [1] use parallel with --no-notice [2], which disables the citation printed out to STDERR. parallel (rust) does not include any such citation; it does however exit on receiving a bad flag, this aborts the script even though parallel (rust) can continue fine while ignoring this flag.

I suggest that parallel (rust) silently ignore this flag to be compatible with GNU parallel's usage in scripts such as this.
