This is a bug fix for [Bugs-850964].
subject : optparse: OptionParser.__init__'s "prog"
http://www.python.org/sf/850964

I've changed get_usage, get_version, and error 
methods to use the instance variable, "prog", 
instead of calling get_prog_name() function directly.

This will display "prog" name if it was provided to 
OptionParser's constructor.

While this looks good at first glance, it causes some tests
to fail in shallow ways.  I'll commit a similar patch
shortly that fixes the original problem without invalidating
existing tests.

Specifically, the existing tests expect that setting
sys.argv[0] after the OptionParser is constructed will
affect the expansion of the %prog token.  Testing self.prog
for a non-empty value at the time of expansion allows the
tests to pass.
