help: hide command line options marked as "advanced" Previously, we have keywords like "(DEPRECATED)" and "(EXPERIMENTAL)" to hide command line options in non-verbose help output. However, sometimes an option is neither deprecated nor experimental. It's well-tested and working, but just not designed to average users. This patch adds a keyword "(ADVANCED)" to fit in such use cases. Thanks rom1dep for the suggestion of the word "advanced".
