31b22d1a51 perf(parser): Take up less memory with ArgAction::Count
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

647896d929 feat(derive): Expose control over Actions
This is the derive support for #3774 (see also #3775, #3777)

This combined with `value_parser` replaces `parser`.  The main
frustration with this is that `ArgAction::Count` (the replacement for
`parse(from_occurrences)` must be a `u64`.  We could come up with a
magic attribute that is meant to be the value parser's parsed type.  We
could then use `TryFrom` to convert the parsed type to the user's type
to allow more.  That is an exercise for the future.  Alternatively, we
have #3792.

Prep for this included

f4004b653b refactor(derive): Give new-style highest precedence
This exposed a potential bug but I figure it isn't worth fixing without
actions.

4b51b8e253 docs(examples): Steer people to know about about vs long_about
`#[clap(about)]` only overrides `about`.  If the doc comment also sets
`long_about`, it won't be overridden.  This change is to help raise
visibility of reseting `long_about` in these cases.

befee6667b docs: Re-work examples
This creates distinct tutorial examples from complex feature examples
(more how-tos).  Both sets are getting builder / derive versions (at
least the critical ones).
