chore(cli): clean up generated usage strings for config commands (fixes #10462) (#10463)

* Show proper subcommand prefix in generated config CLI.
* Remove useless author info and copy command group description.
* Really accept (implicit) -h and --help flags.

These were disabled by HideHelp, leading to an error message in every
usage output.  This way, the flags get documented as well.

* Override AppHelpTemplate to better match Kong's style.
* Override (Sub)commandHelpTemplate to better match Kong's style.
* Use <command> and [flags] like Kong.
