CommandLine: new command line parser

This implementation behaves mostly identical to old parser.
Few observable differences:
- There are no option groups (single group is used for all options)
- Option --stdout is hidden (it has been obsolete for a long time)
- MPD executable name (mpd) is hardcoded for simplicity
