mandos-ctl: Refactor: Move command list generation into argparse

* mandos-ctl (add_command_line_options): Don't simply set flags for
                                         each option; instead, add
                                         command objects to a
                                         "commands" list.
  (check_option_syntax): Rework to deal with an already-generated
                         command list.
  (commands_from_options): Remove all code to generate command list,
                           but add more code to move command.Deny
                           ahead of command.Remove in command list.
  (command.PropertySetterValue.argparse): New; used in
                                          add_command_line_options.
  (Test_check_option_syntax): Refactor to pass actual string arguments
                              to parse_args() instead of modifying an
                              argparse.Namespace.

The Mandos server announces itself as a Zeroconf service of type
2
 
"_mandos._tcp". The Mandos client sends a line of text where the first
3
 
whitespace-separated field is the protocol version, which currently is
4
 
"1".  The client and server then start a TLS protocol handshake with a
5
 
slight quirk: the Mandos server program acts as a TLS "client" while
6
 
the connecting Mandos client acts as a TLS "server".  The Mandos
7
 
client must supply an OpenPGP certificate, and the fingerprint of this
8
 
certificate is used by the Mandos server to look up (in a list read
9
 
from a file at start time) which binary blob to give the client.  No
10
 
other authentication or authorization is done by the server.
