And some refactoring of command line parsing code. General options only, in ./hledger.conf, for now.
It's clearer to write command-specific flags after the command name argument, but that's no longer required. (Writing non-builtin, addon-specific flags after -- is still required). Also, give up on "obey help/doc/version flags even if there's a bad command/flag", it's too hard to do well.
For brevity, and consistency with --conf. --rules-file remains supported, as a hidden option. hledger's main mode now supports the hidden legacy flags, as the command modes do.
