- Display mutually exclusive arguments as ``[[-a]|[-b]]`` in usage
- Add ... trailer to repeatable arguments in usage: ``[-x]...``
- Implement the following enhancements:
By default usage is reported on a single line.
The ``ArgumentParser::set_usage_max_line_width(width)`` method can be used
to display the usage() on multiple lines, by defining the maximum line width.
It can be combined with a call to ``ArgumentParser::set_usage_break_on_mutex()``
to ask grouped mutually exclusive arguments to be displayed on a separate line.
``ArgumentParser::add_usage_newline()`` can also be used to force the next
argument to be displayed on a new line in the usage output.
The following snippet
```cpp
argparse::ArgumentParser program("program");
program.set_usage_max_line_width(80);
program.set_usage_break_on_mutex();
program.add_argument("--quite-long-option-name").flag();
auto &group = program.add_mutually_exclusive_group();
group.add_argument("-a").flag();
group.add_argument("-b").flag();
program.add_argument("-c").flag();
program.add_argument("--another-one").flag();
program.add_argument("-d").flag();
program.add_argument("--yet-another-long-one").flag();
program.add_argument("--will-go-on-new-line").flag();
program.add_usage_newline();
program.add_argument("--new-line").flag();
std::cout << program.usage() << std::endl;
```
will display:
```console
Usage: program [--help] [--version] [--quite-long-option-name]
[[-a]|[-b]]
[-c] [--another-one] [-d] [--yet-another-long-one]
[--will-go-on-new-line]
[--new-line]
```
Furthermore arguments can be separated into several groups by calling
``ArgumentParser::add_group(group_name)``. Only optional arguments should
be specified after the first call to add_group().
```cpp
argparse::ArgumentParser program("program");
program.set_usage_max_line_width(80);
program.add_argument("-a").flag().help("help_a");
program.add_group("Advanced options");
program.add_argument("-b").flag().help("help_b");
```
will display:
```console
Usage: program [--help] [--version] [-a]
Advanced options:
[-b]
```
