[CLI]: Switch over to a less verbose argument parser library

[jamesgeorge007]

Expected Behavior / Situation

As of now the CLI depends on minimist for the purpose of argument parsing which isn't actively maintained anymore. Switching over to any of the better solutions, say commander.js would be a better idea.

Actual Behavior / Situation

Consumes an arg-parser library which is no longer actively maintained.

Modification Proposal

Switch over to a better argument parser library.

Since this calls for a major refactor, I would love to hear out from the maintainers.

I like where the motivation is coming from, but Commander is a hard vote no from me. It's way overkill for our needs. yargs-parser would be much more prudent.

[jamesgeorge007]

Sounds good. So shall I go ahead or should we wait to hear what others have to say?

[shellscape]

Definitely wait for more input.

[lukastaegert]

yargs-parser looks like it can be configured to work the same way as minimist with regard to objects and negations and does not look too big. Definitely worth a shot.

I've been using https://www.npmjs.com/package/command-line-args for a lot of CLIs, it works out pretty well.
