Ed Page 7e899cd340 Revert "Deprecate Arg::help in favour of Arg::about"
This reverts commits 24cb8b1..d0abb37 from clap-rs/clap#1840

This is part of #16.  clap-rs/clap#1840 wasn't the right call but we
don't have time to make the decision now, so instead of having one
option and changing it in 4.0, this reverts back to clap2 behavior.

// of the mistake, and what the possible valid values are

// For this example, assume you want one positional argument of either "fast" or "slow"
// i.e. the only possible ways to run the program are "myprog fast" or "myprog slow"
