BUG/MINOR: cli: Issue an error when too many args are passed for a command

When a command is parsed to split it in an array of arguments, by default,
at most 64 arguments are supported. But no warning was emitted when there
were too many arguments. Instead, the arguments above the limit were
silently ignored. It could be an issue for some commands, like "add server",
because there was no way to know some arguments were ignored.

Now an error is issued when too many arguments are passed and the command is
not executed.

This patch should be backported to all stable versions.
