d840d5650e fix(derive)!: Rename Clap to Parser.
Before #2005, `Clap` was a special trait that derived all clap traits it
detected were relevant (including an enum getting both `ArgEnum`,
`Clap`, and `Subcommand`).  Now, we have elevated `Clap`, `Args`,
`Subcommand`, and `ArgEnum` to be user facing but the name `Clap` isn't
very descriptive.

This also helps further clarify the relationships so a crate providing
an item to be `#[clap(flatten)]` or `#[clap(subcommand)]` is more likely
to choose the needed trait to derive.

Also, my proposed fix fo #2785 includes making `App` attributes almost
exclusively for `Clap`.  Clarifying the names/roles will help
communicate this.

For prior discussion, see #2583

9a180c1511 feat(derive): Specify defaults by native expressions
Right now
- `default_value="something"` is a raw method
- `default_value` uses native types

This commit splits the meanings
- `default_value="something"` is a raw method
- `default_value_t` uses `T::default()`
- `default_value_t=expr` uses an expression that evaluates to `T`

This is meant to mirror the `value_of` / `value_of_t` API.

At the moment, this is limited to `T: Display` to work with clap's
default system.  Something we can look at in the future is a way to
loosen that restriction.  One quick win is to specialize when `arg_enum`
is set.  The main downside is complicating the processing of attributes
because it then means we need some processed before others.

Since this builds on `clap`s existing default system, this also means
users do not get any performance gains out of using `default_value_t`,
since we still need to parse it but we also need to convert it to a
string.

Fixes #1694
