[PATCH] fix a bug that option '-i' cannot be used

Hello Steve,
CC Miloslav,

  Option '-i' cannot be used, because the check about option '-R'
in main() is wrong.
  When check option '-R', we should consider whether option '-i'
is specified.

  Using option '-i' with '-R' should ignore errors when reading
rules from file rather than reporting error message
"Error - nested rule files not supported".

  This is a patch to fix the bug of audit-1.7.4.
