Alessandro Arzilli 2bd1cd3fa7 Documentation,cmd/dlv: tidy up --help output (#1649)
* scripts: use relative path in gen-cli-docs.go

Makes gen-cli-docs.go work outside GOPATH.

* Documentation,cmd/dlv: tidy up --help output

The description of --log-dest, --log-output and --backend is very
verbose and messes up the output of --help, move it to two "additional
help" subcommands.

Delve is a debugger for the Go programming language.
### Synopsis
Delve is a source level debugger for Go programs.
Delve enables you to interact with your program by controlling the execution of the process,
evaluating variables, and providing information of thread / goroutine state, CPU register state and more.
The goal of this tool is to provide a simple yet powerful interface for debugging Go programs.
Pass flags to the program you are debugging using `--`, for example:
`dlv exec ./hello -- server --config conf/config.toml`
### Options
```
--accept-multiclient Allows a headless server to accept multiple client connections.
--api-version int Selects API version when headless. (default 1)
--backend string Backend selection (see 'dlv help backend'). (default "default")
--build-flags string Build flags, to be passed to the compiler.
--check-go-version Checks that the version of Go in use is compatible with Delve. (default true)
--headless Run debug server only, in headless mode.
--init string Init file, executed by the terminal client.
-l, --listen string Debugging server listen address. (default "127.0.0.1:0")
--log Enable debugging server logging.
--log-dest string Writes logs to the specified file or file descriptor (see 'dlv help log').
--log-output string Comma separated list of components that should produce debug output (see 'dlv help log')
--wd string Working directory for running the program. (default ".")
```
