cli: add --expose-gc flag available to NODE_OPTIONS

This commits allows users to send `--expose-gc` via `NODE_OPTIONS`
environment variable.

Using `node --expose-gc` is possible but via `NODE_OPTIONS` won't
work.

```sh
NODE_OPTIONS='--expose-gc' node
node: --expose-gc is not allowed in NODE_OPTIONS
```
