[docs] [issue12686] argparse - document (and improve?) use of SUPPRESS with help=

[R. David Murray]

This is partly a doc issue, but there also appear to be bugs in the way the existing functionality works (although it is hard to tell for sure since it isn't documented :)

Try using the value argparse.SUPPRESS as the value of help= in various places and you'll see what I mean.
