We added a 'deprecate option' mechanism.

Deprecated options don't show up in help, even with --hidden.

So far, the only option we've deprecated is --full, replaced by
--verbose. That's simple enough.

But I can imagine a case where someone needs to see the help for the
deprecated option in order to figure out how to use the replacement
option. 

So perhaps --hidden should show the deprecated options? or some new
option --show-deprecated?

Similarly, we should have deprecated commands (not in this branch). For
example, privkey, pubkey, read are apparently deprecated now.

It is probably more important that there be a way to show the help for
deprecated commands.
