Proper help text & new README structure (#311)

add cli.AppHelpTemplate for customization

customize tea help view

tea --version : improve parseability

Rework README to include tea help output

It's an antipattern to have different help texts aimed at the same
users. So now that we have a good cli help text, lets use it here.
This eases maintenance, and at the same time gives an honest impression
on what we have to offer, while also encouraging to improve the internal
help text in the future.

I feel a bit sad for the GIF, but it was becoming outdated anyway..

- tea uses [code.gitea.io/sdk](https://code.gitea.io/sdk) and interacts with the Gitea API.
## Installation
You can use the prebuilt binaries from [dl.gitea.io](https://dl.gitea.io/tea/)
There are different ways to get `tea`:
To install from source, go 1.13 or newer is required:
1. Install via your system package manager:
- macOS via `brew` (gitea-maintained):
```sh
brew tap gitea/tap https://gitea.com/gitea/homebrew-gitea
brew install tea
```
- arch linux ([gitea-tea](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gitea-tea), thirdparty)
- alpine linux ([tea](https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/packages?name=tea&branch=edge), thirdparty)
```sh
go get code.gitea.io/tea
go install code.gitea.io/tea
```
2. Use the prebuilt binaries from [dl.gitea.io](https://dl.gitea.io/tea/)
If you have `brew` installed, you can install `tea` via:
3. Install from source (go 1.13 or newer is required):
```sh
go get code.gitea.io/tea
go install code.gitea.io/tea
```
```sh
brew tap gitea/tap https://gitea.com/gitea/homebrew-gitea
brew install tea
```
Distribution packages exist for: **alpinelinux ([tea](https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/packages?name=tea&branch=edge))** and **archlinux ([gitea-tea](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gitea-tea))**
Shell completion can be added via `tea autocomplete --install`.
## Usage
First of all, you have to create a token on your `personal settings -> application` page of your gitea instance.
Use this token to login with `tea`:
```sh
tea login add --name=try --url=https://try.gitea.io --token=xxxxxx
```
Now you can use the following `tea` subcommands.
Detailed usage information is available via `tea <command> --help`.
```none
login Log in to a Gitea server
logout Log out from a Gitea server
issues List, create and update issues
pulls List, create, checkout and clean pull requests
releases List, create, update and delete releases
repos Operate with repositories
labels Manage issue labels
times Operate on tracked times of a repositorys issues and pulls
open Open something of the repository on web browser
notifications Show notifications
milestones List and create milestones
organizations List, create, delete organizations
help, h Shows a list of commands or help for one command
```
To fetch issues from different repos, use the `--remote` flag (when inside a gitea repository directory) or `--login` & `--repo` flags.
