65da20beab Correctly show help message if -h is provided to subcommand
Currently, if an action is specified on a subcommand, it ignores the
`-h` and `--help` flags if passed to the subcommand, e.g.:

`foo bar -h`

would call the default action on `bar` rather than show the help
documentation.

Fixes #477

a121e978f7 Switch "printHelp" tabwriter padchar to space
Using tabs for alignment is troubling if the output is used for anything besides display in a terminal (or if the user's terminal allows for adjustment of the default tab size), as noted by the documentation for `tabwriter` (https://golang.org/pkg/text/tabwriter/#Writer.Init):

> (for correct-looking results, tabwidth must correspond to the tab width in the viewer displaying the result)

The safer solution is to use `' '` as the `padchar`, which only carries the assumption of a fixed-width font (which is a more reasonable assumption than a fixed, constant tab size).

592f1d97e5 Exit non-zero if a unknown subcommand is given
Currently it just prints the help message and exits 0.

We do this by modifying the helpCommand and helpSubcommand cli.Commands
to return an error if they are called with an unknown subcommand. This
propogates up to the app which exits with 3 and prints the error.

Thanks to @danslimmon for the initial approach!

Adjust command hiding to use similar convention as hidden flags
plus breaking out "setup" portion of `App.Run` into its own method, cleaning up
some bits of the help templates, and allowing for runtime opt-in of displaying
template errors to stderr.

New `Hide` variable for all Flags
This is a way to provide hidden flags for app, command and subcommands

For example:

  --generate-bash-completion global flag shouldn't be printed along
  with other flags as it might generally confuse people into thinking
  that 'generate' in-fact would generate a bash completion file for them
  to be used along with their app.

Also in general one would want to hide some flags for their apps.

54b6cca78e Remove panic from help.
There is a panic in printHelp that can be trivially triggered when the
shell closes os.Stdout. This happens, for example, when data is piped
between a cli app and something else.

732e97aee8 only display app version and help message once
When processing the flags for -h/--help and -v/--version, only check
the flags in checkVersion() and checkHelp() instead of also printing
the associated message.

This fixes the problem of `app -h` and `app -v` printing their output
twice. The doubling was caused by printing the message once for each
registred alias for the given flags (-h/--help and -v/--version).

Resolves #285

But update signature to take a writer. This is a backwards incompatible

feature is largely unused and the usage is easily updated.
