* 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.

dlv exec

Execute a precompiled binary, and begin a debug session.

Synopsis

Execute a precompiled binary and begin a debug session.

This command will cause Delve to exec the binary and immediately attach to it to begin a new debug session. Please note that if the binary was not compiled with optimizations disabled, it may be difficult to properly debug it. Please consider compiling debugging binaries with -gcflags="all=-N -l" on Go 1.10 or later, -gcflags="-N -l" on earlier versions of Go.

dlv exec <path/to/binary>

Options

      --continue   Continue the debugged process on start.
