Add ability to mark flags as required or exclusive as a group (#1654)
This change adds two features for dealing with flags:
 - requiring flags be provided as a group (or not at all)
 - requiring flags be mutually exclusive of each other

By utilizing the flag annotations we can mark which flag groups
a flag is a part of and during the parsing process we track which
ones we have seen or not.

A flag may be a part of multiple groups. The list of flags and the
type of group (required together or exclusive) make it a unique group.
