At the moment, there is no Org way to add arbitrary options to listings
or minted on a per block basis.

There are basically two ways to implement this. Either we add
an :options keyword and stuff options there:

  #+attr_latex: :options a=b,c=d
  #+begin_src ...

Another option is to turn options into keywords:

  #+attr_latex: :a b :c d
  #+begin_src ...

The latter is more elegant, but it requires to know about every
minted/listings options.

It is also possible to do something in-between, i.e., tell Org about
a few selected keywords and stuff the others into :options. This is what
is done for images. Org knows about :height and :width and uses :options
for everything else.
