Rewrite CLI using better options parser (possibly yargs) about cordova-cli HOT 4 OPEN

@Menardi I'm thinking of something like this: https://github.com/yargs/yargs/blob/master/docs/advanced.md#example-command-hierarchy-using-commanddir

I will try to provide a Motivation section to this issue when I find the time.

I'm not too familiar with the CLI args parsers, what does sub-command support mean in this context? I guess knowing that will probably explain the need to switch away from nopt :)

If you wonder what Cordova might look like using Commander for the CLI, I tried emulating the Cordova CLI to try out some new features coming in Commander v5:

(This isn't a recommendation to use Commander, just commenting for your possible interest.)

Hi! Browsing through other cli-libraries I bumped into this issue. I have been building a cli-parser myself (for educational purposes) and reading this issue's descriptions, seems it might be a good fit: https://github.com/carloscortonc/cli-er#readme

Would love any feedback/suggestions! 👐
