Repair manualroute transport name not-last option
Commit 55414b25b did const-ification surgery which removed the old
"temporarily drop a NUL in here" anti-pattern, but one of the
Ustrcmp->Ustrncmp conversions was missed, for transport-name comparison.
As a result, since Exim 4.85, we've had an undocumented
requirement-by-bug that the transport name be the last such option
given. Restore old behaviour.
Still missing a test-case to deter regression.
