Log:
[CommandLine] Improve help text for cl::values style options

In order to make an option value truly optional, both the ValueOptional
and an empty-named value are required. This empty-named value appears in
the command-line help text, which is not ideal.

This change improves the help text for these sort of options in a number
of ways:
1) ValueOptional options with an empty-named value now print their help
text twice: both without and then with '=<value>' after the name. The
latter version then lists the allowed values after it.
2) Empty-named values with no help text in ValueOptional options are not
listed in the permitted values.
3) Otherwise empty-named options are printed as =<empty> rather than
simply '='.
4) Option values without help text do not have the '-' separator
printed.

It also tweaks the llvm-symbolizer -functions help text to not print a
trailing ':' as that looks bad combined with 1) above.
