7d2a2ed413 feat(Subcommands): adds support for custom ordering in help messages
Allows custom ordering of subcommands within the help message. Subcommands with a lower
value will be displayed first in the help message. This is helpful when one would like to
emphasise frequently used subcommands, or prioritize those towards the top of the list.
Duplicate values **are** allowed. Subcommands with duplicate display orders will be
displayed in alphabetical order.

**NOTE:** The default is 999 for all subcommands.

```rust
use clap::{App, SubCommand};
let m = App::new("cust-ord")
    .subcommand(SubCommand::with_name("alpha") // typically subcommands are grouped
                                               // alphabetically by name. Subcommands
                                               // without a display_order have a value of
                                               // 999 and are displayed alphabetically with
                                               // all other 999 subcommands
        .about("Some help and text"))
    .subcommand(SubCommand::with_name("beta")
        .display_order(1)   // In order to force this subcommand to appear *first*
                            // all we have to do is give it a value lower than 999.
                            // Any other subcommands with a value of 1 will be displayed
                            // alphabetically with this one...then 2 values, then 3, etc.
        .about("I should be first!"))
    .get_matches_from(vec![
        "cust-ord", "--help"
    ]);
```

The above example displays the following help message

```
cust-ord

USAGE:
    cust-ord [FLAGS] [OPTIONS]

FLAGS:
    -h, --help       Prints help information
    -V, --version    Prints version information

SUBCOMMANDS:
    beta    I should be first!
    alpha   Some help and text
```

Closes #442

fcbc7e12f5 fix: adds support for building ArgGroups from standalone YAML
ArgGroups can now be built from standalone YAML documents. This is
labeled as a fix because it should have been the case prior. A
standalone YAML document for a group would look something like

```
name: test
args:
    - arg1
    - arg2
required: true
conflicts:
    - arg3
requires:
    - arg4
```

This commit also keeps support building groups as part of a larger
entire App YAML document where the name is specified as a key to the
yaml tree

8988853fb8 imp(ArgMatcher): huge refactor and deduplication of code
Tons of code has been moved into functions, deduplicated, made much
easier to read, maintain, and understand. Comments still need to be
added, but that will happen shortly. Modules have also been moved around
to follow Rust conventions and best practices.

All functionality remains exactly the same

5800cdec6d imp(Traits): refactoring some configuration into traits
There is now an AnyArg trait which lets you (clap dev, not consumer) get
info about certain args regardless of their type. Allows more generic
and de-duplicated code

934e6fbb64 feat(App): Added ability for users to handle errors themselves
Now you can use get_matches_safe instead of get_mathces if you want
to handle errors yourself.

This will allow now to write false-negative tests and check what type
of error occurs
