Description

SvelteKit needs `-h` for host, but currently can't use it because sade is hardcoding it to `--help` (https://github.com/sveltejs/kit/issues/1432)

I'm used to `-h` for host. E.g. that's what the `mysql` and `psql` command-line clients do. They use `-?` for help

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating sade's CLI option parsing and the code that assigns the single-letter --help shortcut; determine how a caller could select an alternative such as -?. Done means the help shortcut is configurable, -h can remain available for host, and existing help behavior still works.
