Issue Description

Command line help (from parse-server --help) has HTML formatting (eg. <br>) in it.

Steps to reproduce

Run parse-server --help

Actual Outcome

This, and several more:

--directAccess [directAccess]                                          Set to `true` if Parse requests within the same Node.js environment as Parse Server should be routed to Parse Server directly instead of via the HTTP interface.
                                                                         Default is `false`.<br><br>If set to `false` then Parse requests within the same Node.js environment as Parse Server are executed as HTTP requests sent to Parse
                                                                         Server via the `serverURL`.\
Expected Outcome

Not to have HTML formatting in CLI console output. Maybe a \n?
