Better help texts and Sphinx reproduction of usage
- Group options
- Nicer list of options in Sphinx
- Deduplicate 'Common options'
  (including --help)

The latter is done by explicitly declaring --help in the common_parser,
which is then inherited by the sub-parsers; no change in observable
behaviour.

Description
~~~~~~~~~~~
This command extracts the contents of an archive. By default the entire
archive is extracted but a subset of files and directories can be selected
by passing a list of ``PATHs`` as arguments. The file selection can further
be restricted by using the ``--exclude`` option.
See the output of the "borg help patterns" command for more help on exclude patterns.
