This is a step towards #1041
- `ArgGroup` no longer takes a lifetime
- One less field type needs a lifetime
For now, we are using a more brute force type (`String`) so we can
establish performance base lines. I was torn on whether to use `&str`
everywhere or make an `IdRef`. The latter would add a lot of noise that
I'm concerned about, so i left it simple for now. `IdRef` would help to
communicate the types involved though.
Speaking of communicating types, I'm also torn on whether we should use
`Id` for all strings or if we should have `Id`, `Name`, etc types to
avoid people mixing and matching.

Compared to `HEAD~` on `06_rustup`:
- build: 6.23us -> 7.41us
- parse: 8.17us -> 9.36us
- parse_sc: 7.65us -> 9.29us
This is a part of #2870 and is prep for #1041
Oddly enough, this dropped the binary size by 200 Bytes

Someone should not reasonably expect a coun flag to go up to billions,
millions, or even thousands. 255 should be sufficient for anyone,
right?
The original type was selected to be consistent with
`ArgMatches::occurrences_of` but that is also used for tracking how
many values appear which can be large with `xargs`.
I'm still conflicted on what the "right type" is an wish we could
support any numeric type. When I did a search on github though, every
case was for debug/quiet flags and only supported 2-3 occurrences,
making a `u8` overkill.
This came out of a discussion on #3792
This mostly exist for
- Knowing of the value came from the command-line but we now have
`ArgMatches::source`
- Counting the number of flags but we now have `ArgAction::Count`
This is prep for moving the derive tests. Besides organizing the test
folder for each API, this should reduce link time at the cost of
re-compiling more when a test changes.
