Add "reference" help topic (#2223)
* Add "reference" help topic

* Only print reference as a help topic

* fix for color fns, slightly generalize

* WIP for switching to markdown

* escape gt/lt

* minor

* higher wrap point

* detect terminal theme

* futz with angle brackets once more

* minor cleanup

* prepend parent commands

* rename help topic fns and add test

* Simplify reference help generation

- the `<...>` characters from command usage line are now preserved by enclosing the entire usage synopsis in a code span
- hard breaks in flag usage lines are preserved by enclosing flag usage in a code block
- TTY detection and Markdown rendering are now delayed until the user explicitly requests `gh help reference`
- `gh help reference` output is now pager-enabled
