[Docutils-develop] [docutils:bugs] #441 Move from "optparse" to "argparse".

[Adam T. <aa-...@us...>]

Hi, as promised please find the patch at https://github.com/AA-Turner/docutils/pull/8 // https://github.com/AA-Turner/docutils/pull/8.patch

It will likely be easiest to review commit-by-commit.

Note as discussed earlier, all code expecting a `settings_spec` tuple will can get one (see https://github.com/AA-Turner/docutils/pull/8/files#r785578670 ).

Would appreciate any feedback or reviews!

** [bugs:#441] Move from "optparse" to "argparse".**

The optparse documentation says:
> Deprecated since version 3.2: The optparse module is deprecated and will not be developed further; development will continue with the argparse module.

We are currently suppressing related deprecation warnings in the test suite.
After raising the Python dependency to >=3.7, now may be the right time to make the move.
