Description

The help output lists all function (keyword) arguments in the synopsis, arguments and flags.

In my specific use case, I would like to exclude some of those arguments, because they are:

1. of non-literal type, and therefore not easily provided through the means of CLI
2. injected by a dependency injection decorator

The option to exclude (keyword) arguments could be done in a couple of ways:
1. prefix the argument name with an underscore, e.g.
```python
def my_function(a: bool, _complex_type: ComplexType = ComplexType()):
...
```
2. limit args and kwargs to literal types
```python
fire.Fire(help_include_literals_only=True)
```
3. provide the means to exclude arguments based on module or instance type, e.g.
```python
def my_function(a: bool, s: service.ComplexType):
...

fire.Fire(
help_exclude_arg_types=[service.ComplexType],
help_exclude_arg_modules=[service]
)
```
