* Fixes#240: Multiple long option names / aliases
* We now use a vector of long option names instead of a single name
* When specifying an option, you can provide multiple names separated by commas, at most one of which may have a length of 1 (not necessarily the first specified name). The length-1 name is the single-hyphen switch (the "short name").
* Hashing uses the first long name
* Option help currently only uses the first long name.
* Fixes#345, fixes#346, regards #340: Put exceptions in a sub-namespace and renamed them accordingly.
* Also fixed some "loose ends" regarding namespace indentation which were missing in PR #350.
* Dropped `required_option_missing` as it is unused.
* Cmake Revamp
I needed to do a variety of things to ensure cxxopts worked well in my own project.
I created a new cmake module to abstract a lot of the logic in the main CMakelists.txt, I think it really assists in the readability of the project. Consequently a lot of logic is now written in functions.
I made a lot of the project options off by default unless the project is being built standalone. As a frequent consumer of cmake libraries this is a huge issue. Since examples, tests, installation, etc. aren't things I expect/desired by default when using libraries.

Major refactor of the parsing code organisation to improve encapsulation
and not modify the input arguments. The returned result no longer has
pointers into the original option specification.
* Fixes#245:
* Added a new exception type: `option_has_no_value_exception`; throwing it when an option has no value we can cast with `as()`, instead of an `std::domain_error`.
* The `OptionValue` type now holds a pointer to the long option name (in its corresponding key within ParseResults's `m_results` field.
Fixes#96. Default values of options not specified on the command line
had a `count` of 1. It would be better if they had a count of 0 because
they were not actually specified, so that count is only for options
given by the user.
Fixes#83.
Adds an overload for positional arguments taking a
`std::initializer_list`. When using an `initializer_list` with one
argument, the function call is ambiguous matching both `std::string`
and `std::vector<std::string>`.
Fixes#84. Implicit values are not handled very well. For example:
--foo false true
--foo --bar
In the first, `false` is an argument to `--foo`, and then `true` is a
positional argument. In the second, because of the hyphen in `--bar`, `--foo`
is parsed with its implicit value. This seems inconsistent and unintuitive.
Better is that implicit values *never* consume the next parameter to be
completely consistent. This means that values with an implicit parameter
*must* be specified using the `--option=value` form.
The parsing for boolean options was broken by 6c9bae4a07 which added implicit
and default values, and the ability to parse boolean strings. Having an option
after the boolean tried to parse that into the boolean instead of as a
positional parameter.
See #84 for the bug report.
* Prevent malformed numbers from being parsed as correct numbers.
Fixes#78. If you passed a string for example "test" it would get parsed to 1400.
The problem was that the parser did not throw an exception when an incorrect char was encountered.
Also a number without 0x in front with hexadecimal digits in it got parsed.
The number was treated as a hexadecimal number but it was still calculated with base 10.
So now before the current char is used, it is checked if it is valid in the current base.
Furthermore the number 0x0 was not a valid number, it now is a special case in the `integer_pattern`.
* Fixed `integer_pattern` so it works correctly under clang. Added testcase for invalid integers and for 0x0 being a valid number.
