Add DefaultValue text for flags

Browse Source 
Allows a user to override the default value of a flag in the displayed help output.

Ex:
```
cli.IntFlag{
	Name: "foo, f",
	DefaultText: "random foo",
	Value: "bar",
}
```

Running `(app.name) -h` will now yield:

```
--foo value     (default: "random foo")
```

Fixes: #504
