at(1) always issues the warning

warning: commands will be executed using /bin/sh

on stderr.  This makes it more difficult to find real errors when at
is being called from a script.  Please add an option that disables this
warning.

I first planned to submit a bug for too verbose at command, but then I
found this old one.  I added a new flag '-s' for 'silent' that inhibits
POSIX2-required warning of using /bin/sh and printing of time.

Other alternative would be defining some environment variable like
'SHUT_UP_AT_I_KNOW_YOU_USE_BIN_SH_THANKS' :-) and check for that.

if (getenv("SHUT_UP_AT_I_KNOW_YOU_USE_BIN_SH_THANKS"))
  silent = 1;

instead of that fragment in getopt-switch.
