feat(Help): adds ability to hide the possible values on a per argument basis

Previously one could only hide the possible values of an argument application or command wide, and
not on a per argument basis. Now one can use the `Arg::hide_possible_values(bool)` method to hide
only that arguments possible values.

Closes #640
