85809c8ad4 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)

44fd3b3cb8 Remove 'aliases' property
Allow setting several names using 'name' property instead, e.g.
':name "-f --foo"' instead of ':aliases {"-f", "--foo"}'.

This change breaks documented interface of 0.3.x.

ff9abac990 Allow using multiple constructor arguments for configuring elements
Disable undocumented ability to specify aliases as arguments
for constructors, e.g. parser:option("-f", "--foo"), and instead
order properties and pass constructor arguments to them.
E.g. parser:argument("foo", "A foo that bars") sets argument
name to foo and description to "A foo that bars".

TODO: remove "aliases" property, instead allow setting several
names in one string by separating them using space.
TODO: reorder properties so that most useful ones could be used
as constructor arguments.

3788b9c1a6 Improved help option behaviour
* Help option is only created once per parser, several :prepare() invocations do not create extra options.
* In :add_help(foo), foo is passed to the help option overriding default name, see spec/help_spec.lua @ 24
