87afaba6ba Improve thrown message in case of invalid argument.
Now message contains information which argument is the source of error.
It's easier to spot typo/understand which part of more complex command
is the source of problem.

ea1f7ef663 Allow removal of default arguments (i.e. --help and --version)
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.

af6bbc1d47 Skip --version test until it can be made to work
Because program.parse_args( { "test", "--version" }) calls std::exit(0),
the REQUIRE line never runs and this test is less useful.  Because tests
execution stops here, the doctest status report is not output.  If
--version can be made to not exit during this test, then the test could
be restored.

f3e65f69a9 Added --version as a special flag similar to --help
* ArgumentParser takes a second argument - the program version (std::string)
* Using --version or -v will print the program version and exit
