Pass vectors of raw pointers to OptionProcessor helpers instead of ve…

…ctors of unique_ptrs.

Passing a vector<unique_ptr<T>>& is bad for two reasons:
1) Conceptual - unique_ptr is meant to be a clear signal of ownership transfer. But this is a *reference* to a vector of unique_ptrs so ownership isn't transferred.
2) Practical - this interface is impossible to work with unless you happen to already have a vector of unique_ptrs, because they're move-only so you can't create this on the fly.

RELNOTES: None.
