Help output has changed format over time. This updates the README
example to reflect current practice by running the example code
and copy-pasting its output.

The help and version arguments are still included by default, but which
default arguments to include can be overridden at ArgumentParser creation.
argparse generally copies Python argparse behavior. This includes a
default `--help`/`-h` argument to print a help message and exit. Some
developers using argparse find the automatic exit to be undesirable.
The Python argparse has an opt-out parameter when constructing an
ArgumentParser. Using `add_help=False` avoids adding a default `--help`
argument and allows the developer to implement a custom help.
This commit adds a similar opt-out to our C++ argparse, but keeps the
current behavior as the default. The `--help`/`-h` and `--version`/`-v`
Arguments handle their own output and exit rather than specially treating
them in ArgumentParser::parse_args_internal.

Previously, only arguments with one or more parameters would run actions.
But, at times it can be useful to run an action when an argument does not
expect any parameters.

These examples give a false impression that a space in the middle of the
application name is well handled. While a space might be possible, it
must be escaped in shells, i.e. a common environment for a CLI argument
parser.

argparse seems to use the "std::" qualifier for std namespace members,
continue that in the documentation.

IMHO, the .scan function and its supporting functions are beautiful
metaprogramming that needs to be more visible to argparse users. As a
start, document the function, with simple examples.

.present returns std::nullopt if the optional argument is not given by the
user -- as long as a .default_value is not defined. With a .default_value,
.present cannot be used to determine if a value is user-provided or the
default.
.is_used fills that role and only returns true if the argument was passed
by the user.

The default behavior with optional arguments is to allow only a single use
per invocation. One alternative is to use .nargs, but this requires
previously knowing, and limiting, the quantity of values. The .append
method removes the restriction on repeats for a single Argument.
