Description

# Feature request

As a first-time user, running `ccsh -h` is overwhelming:

Where do I even start? I have the choice between 18 tools. It would be helpful to know what analyzers are typically useful, so I do not have to look at all 18.

## Description

As a novice user, I want a suggestion which analyzers to use, so that I am not overwhelmed by 18 choices.

## Acceptance criteria
- `ccsh -h` prints the most useful parsers to use: unifiedparser, gitlogparser and merge cover the basics.
- - `ccsh -h` should not be a replacement for a getting started. It should just point out the most important trees in this forest.
- `ccsh -h` should suggest to look at the docs and where to find them

Research direction

Start by locating the ccsh help entry point and reviewing the current output for its analyzer list. Done means ccsh -h highlights unifiedparser, gitlogparser, and merge as useful basics, explains that it is only an orientation, and points users to the documentation.
