Reorder flags in nu --help (#7672)

Browse Source 
The ordering of flags in `nu --help` was a bit of a mess; I think it
grew organically over time. Related commands (like
`--config`/`--env-config`/`--plugin-config`) weren't grouped together,
common flags weren't near the top, and we weren't following alphabetical
ordering.

### Before

```bash
Flags:
  -h, --help - Display the help message for this command
  --stdin - redirect standard input to a command (with `-c`) or a script file
  -l, --login - start as a login shell
  -i, --interactive - start as an interactive shell
  -v, --version - print the version
  --testbin <String> - run internal test binary
  -c, --commands <String> - run the given commands and then exit
  --config <String> - start with an alternate config file
  --env-config <String> - start with an alternate environment config file
  --log-level <String> - log level for diagnostic logs (error, warn, info, debug, trace). Off by default
  --log-target <String> - set the target for the log to output. stdout, stderr(default), mixed or file
  -e, --execute <String> - run the given commands and then enter an interactive shell
  -t, --threads <Int> - threads to use for parallel commands
  -m, --table-mode <String> - the table mode to use. rounded is default.
  --plugin-config <String> - start with an alternate plugin signature file
```

### After

```bash
Flags:
  -h, --help - Display the help message for this command
  -c, --commands <String> - run the given commands and then exit
  -e, --execute <String> - run the given commands and then enter an interactive shell
  -i, --interactive - start as an interactive shell
  -l, --login - start as a login shell
  -m, --table-mode <String> - the table mode to use. rounded is default.
  -t, --threads <Int> - threads to use for parallel commands
  -v, --version - print the version
  --config <String> - start with an alternate config file
  --env-config <String> - start with an alternate environment config file
  --plugin-config <String> - start with an alternate plugin signature file
  --log-level <String> - log level for diagnostic logs (error, warn, info, debug, trace). Off by default
  --log-target <String> - set the target for the log to output. stdout, stderr(default), mixed or file
  --stdin - redirect standard input to a command (with `-c`) or a script file
  --testbin <String> - run internal test binary
```

The new ordering:

1. Groups commands with short flags together, sorted alphabetically by
short flag
1. Groups commands with only long flags together, sorted alphabetically
(with the exception of `--plugin-config` so we can keep related flags
together)

Conveniently, this puts the very commonly used `-c` at the top and the
very rarely used `--testbin` at the bottom.
