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.

This is a part of #4132

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.

2de59195aa fix!: Prefer IntoIterator over &[]
The main breakinge change cases:
- `&[char]`: now requires removing `&`
- All other non-ID `&[_]`: hopefully #1041 will make these non-breaking

Fixes #2870

bfc486501a test: Panic, rather than exit, on error
Working on a fix for #3217 and can't see what is failing because the
test process exits.

9e64387ef0 revert(help): Partial revert of 3c049b4
The extra whitespace was targeted at machine processing for a subset of
users for a subset of runs of CLIs.  On the other hand, there is a lot
of concern over the extra verbose output.

A user can set the help template for man, if desired.  They can even do
something (env? feature flag?) to make it only run when doing man
generation.  We also have #3174 in the works.

So let's focus on the end-user reading `--help`.  People wanting to use
`help2man` have workarounds to do what they need.

Fixes #3096

045bf99ae0 test: Consolidate builder tests
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.
