Allow custom help providers (#1259)

Allow custom help providers

* Version option will show in help even with a default command

* Reserve `-v` and `--version` as special Spectre.Console command line arguments (nb. breaking change for Spectre.Console users who have a default command with a settings class that uses either of these switches).

* Help writer correctly determines if trailing commands exist and whether to display them as optional or mandatory in the usage statement.

* Ability to control the number of indirect commands to display in the help text when the command itself doesn't have any examples of its own. Defaults to 5 (for backward compatibility) but can be set to any integer or zero to disable completely.

* Significant increase in unit test coverage for the help writer.

* Minor grammatical improvements to website documentation.

## CommandArgument
Arguments have a position and a name. The name is not only used for generating help, but its formatting is used to determine whether or not the argument is optional. The name must either be surrounded by square brackets (e.g. `[name]`) or angle brackets (e.g. `<name>`). Angle brackets denote required whereas square brackets denote optional. If neither are specified an exception will be thrown.

The position is used for scenarios where there could be more than one argument.
