[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (AS7-3992) Improve formatting of command line help

Brian Stansberry commented on AS7-3992:
---------------------------------------
I don't see any reason to mark them as deprecated. We should probably change any docs
that say that they are. There's nothing particularly wrong with -b <value>.
BTW, the formatting of the help text tries to limit the width of each line, so taking more
width for the key will require some thinking about that.

For command line parameters where there is both a short or a long version of the same
option, the short and long version should be comma separated. This is similar to how many
command line tools display help or in man pages.
Current output:

-h Display this message and exit
--help Display this message and exit
{noformat}
Suggested output:
{noformat}
