Ed Page 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
- #3782
- #3783
- #3786
- #3789
- #3793
