36bc641648 fix(help): Remove extraneous text from built-ins
This is an intermediate solution for #4408.  As there were no agreeed
upon goals, I went with what I felt read well and that I saw commonly
used on non-clap commands.

- "information" isn't really a necessary word.
- I originally favored `Print this help` but realied that doesn't read
  correctly in completions.
- Besides being shorter, the reason for the flipped short/long hint is
  it gives people the context they need for scanning, emphasizing
  "summary" and "more".

Fixes #4409

c90a4eabae fix(help): Make output more dense
In looking at other help output, I noticed that they use two spaces, in
place of clap's 4, and it doesn't suffer from legibility.  If it
doesn't make the output worse, let's go ahead and make it as dense so we
fit more content on the screen.

9a645d2d19 fix(help): Collapse usage to one line
After looking at more examples, I've become more attached to this
briefer format.

This is to help shorten it and polish it by removing redundant
information.

9b23a09f7a fix(help): Don't rely on ALL CAPS for headers
I see them fulfilling two roles
- A form of bolding
- As a callback to their placeholder in usage

However, it is a bit of an unpolished look and no other CLI seems to do
it.  This looks a bit more proefessional.  We have colored help for
formatting and I think the sections relation to usage will be clear
enough.

65b9c88b3c fix: Update app_from_crate for App rename
Instead of just renaming it, I reconsidered what the API should look
like.  A custom separator for author does not make sense positionally
but accepting a name, and defaulting it, does fit with what someone
would expect.

I removed the `_from_crate` suffix because it doesn't seem necessary.
We don't have this kind of naming for the derive.  I feel it cleans
things up this way.
