Jesse Szwedko f585ec7cb8 Remove reordering of flags and arguments
This was introduced by #36, but only worked in the specific case of all
arguments being passed before all flags. If the user mixed them, they
ended up with odd parsing behavior where the arguments were reordered
(causing #103 and #355).

Given the tradeoffs I think we should remove support for flag
reordering.

Fixes #103
Fixes #355

# Change Log
**ATTN**: This project uses [semantic versioning](http://semver.org/).
## 2.0.0 - (unreleased 2.x series)
### Added
- `NewStringSlice` and `NewIntSlice` for creating their related types
### Removed
- the ability to specify `&StringSlice{...string}` or `&IntSlice{...int}`.
To migrate to the new API, you may choose to run [this helper
(python) script](./cli-migrate-slice-types).
- The optimistic reordering of arguments and flags introduced by
https://github.com/codegangsta/cli/pull/36. This behavior only worked when
all arguments appeared before all flags, but caused [weird issues with boolean
flags](https://github.com/codegangsta/cli/issues/103) and [reordering of the
arguments](https://github.com/codegangsta/cli/issues/355) when the user
attempted to mix flags and arguments. Given the trade-offs we removed support
for this reordering.
## [Unreleased] - (1.x series)
### Added
- Pluggable flag-level help text rendering via `cli.DefaultFlagStringFunc`
### Changed
- `Float64Flag`, `IntFlag`, and `DurationFlag` default values are no longer
quoted in help text output.
- All flag types now include `(default: {value})` strings following usage when a
default value can be (reasonably) detected.
- `IntSliceFlag` and `StringSliceFlag` usage strings are now more consistent
with non-slice flag types
## [1.16.0] - 2016-05-02
### Added
- `Hidden` field on all flag struct types to omit from generated help text
### Changed
- `BashCompletionFlag` (`--enable-bash-completion`) is now omitted from
generated help text via the `Hidden` field
### Fixed
- handling of error values in `HandleAction` and `HandleExitCoder`
## [1.15.0] - 2016-04-30
### Added
- This file!
- Support for placeholders in flag usage strings
- `App.Metadata` map for arbitrary data/state management
- `Set` and `GlobalSet` methods on `*cli.Context` for altering values after
parsing.
- Support for nested lookup of dot-delimited keys in structures loaded from
YAML.
### Changed
- The `App.Action` and `Command.Action` now prefer a return signature of
`func(*cli.Context) error`, as defined by `cli.ActionFunc`. If a non-nil
`error` is returned, there may be two outcomes:
- If the error fulfills `cli.ExitCoder`, then `os.Exit` will be called
automatically
- Else the error is bubbled up and returned from `App.Run`
- Specifying an `Action` with the legacy return signature of
`func(*cli.Context)` will produce a deprecation message to stderr
- Specifying an `Action` that is not a `func` type will produce a non-zero exit
from `App.Run`
- Specifying an `Action` func that has an invalid (input) signature will
produce a non-zero exit from `App.Run`
### Deprecated
- <a name="deprecated-cli-app-runandexitonerror"></a>
`cli.App.RunAndExitOnError`, which should now be done by returning an error
that fulfills `cli.ExitCoder` to `cli.App.Run`.
- <a name="deprecated-cli-app-action-signature"></a> the legacy signature for
`cli.App.Action` of `func(*cli.Context)`, which should now have a return
signature of `func(*cli.Context) error`, as defined by `cli.ActionFunc`.
### Fixed
- Added missing `*cli.Context.GlobalFloat64` method
## [1.14.0] - 2016-04-03 (backfilled 2016-04-25)
