In some sophisticated situations, these may be expensive to calculate.
One example might be a '--branch' option accepting any single Git
branch that exists on the remote -- in such a case, the remote would
need to be queried for all possible_values. The cost is ultimately
unavoidable at runtime since this validation has to happen eventually,
but there's no need to pay it when generating help text if
`is_hide_possible_values_set`.
To keep '-h' fast, avoid collecting `possible_values` during '-h'
unless we're actually going to use the values in display.
This optimization is repeated for the manpage renderer.
This is trivially based on the short-circuiting logic at [1], which at
least supports the idea that actually consuming the iterator is not
generally-guaranteed behavior when `hide_possible_values` is set.
Note on the 'expensive' mod: This keeps all the possible_values tests
in one file but allows the entire set of tests to be controlled by the
'strings' feature (which is required to be able to use String rather
than str for each possible value).

This commit is a tiny win in compiled code size of a final binary
including `clap` which shaves off 19k of compiled code locally.
Previously tokens were checked if they were a number by using
`.parse::<f64>().is_ok()`, but parsing floats is relatively heavyweight
in terms of code size. This replaces the check with a more naive "does
this string have lots of ascii digits" check where the compiled size of
this check should be much smaller.
These dependencies are used elsewhere in clap, but not in these crates.
`cargo test` and `cargo check --examples` both still pass with these
dependencies removed.
