Reorder properties

Move more common properties to the front of property lists,
so that they can be passed as constructor arguments.
E.g.

parser:option "-p" "--port"
   :description "Port number."
   :default "8080"
   :convert(tonumber)

can now be expressed as

parser:option("-p --port", "Port number.", "8080", tonumber)
